Pastured Pork
Our KuneKune pastured pork program is a work in progress. Our KuneKune pigs are a very useful tool on our farm, helping us to clear and restore our overgrown acreage/pastures. KuneKune pigs consume more grass than grain. Their short snouts make them great at grazing, and they can survive solely on pasture grasses. Our pigs are supplemented with certified organic locally sourced and milled feed from Stone House Grain in Hudson, NY.
KuneKune pork is absolutely delicious and different than any conventional/store bought pork, there's no going back once you taste it. The color is a deep reddish hue - this is a result of the beta carotenoids in the grasses and legumes they consume on pasture.
When pork is available, it is sold prior to the KuneKune pig going to be slaughtered and sold by the quarter per USDA regulations. Each box contains cuts including ham, picnic, chops, lard, ribs, belly, jowls, neck bones, feet, and assorted organ(s) (cuts may vary). We are hoping to have our KuneKune pork USDA inspected/processed so we can sell pork by the piece instead of by the quarter by Fall/Winter 2024.
Each quarter averages 35-40lbs of meat, and is sold for $7/pound, averaging $245 - $280 total per quarter.
