Half Pork Deposit
Enjoy a great price and fill your freezer with a secure supply of local pork. Born and raised on our farm, our pigs are rotated in our pastures and provided with shelter. They feast on whey, a by-product of cheesemaking, which produces extra tasty pork! We also provide our pigs with local, all-natural grains and hay.
A $200 deposit reserves your Crosswinds Farm & Creamery pig for processing in September 2024. The final cost of a Half Pig is $425, which includes processing costs. Your $200 deposit will be applied to this final cost.
