Two Girls Farm Pigs

If you’re looking for local, hormone and antibiotic-free, humanely raised pork, you’ve come to the right place. We raise happy, healthy, well-loved pigs in my barn and pasture. They are fed grain, food scraps from some of Keene’s finest restaurants, wild apples, acorns, and excess produce from our own farm.

When the nights start freezing in the Fall, we slaughter them ourselves. We then take them to be professionally cut and wrapped by a local butcher. A half pig will yield 80 to 90 pounds of chops, ribs, bacon, ham, roasts, and sausage; in addition to such delicacies as ham hocks, trotters, and back fat for making salt pork or lard.

COSTS:

The total cost for us to raise, slaughter, process, and smoke your half pig will depend on its final size. We charge $2.75/pound hanging weight (that’s the weight of the pig after we kill it and clean it out) to raise, slaughter, and process your pig. The bacon and ham will cost about $1.10/lb to smoke. So the total cost to you for a half pig will range between $340 and $420.

To reserve your whole or half pig for this Fall, please send us a check for $195 ($390 for a whole pig) to help cover our input costs. Your piglet will be setting up residence on the farm in April/May, so we need to receive your deposit by March 31. (our barn and pasture space is limited and we sell out early) In addition, please fill out and return the enclosed cut sheet.

We will slaughter your pig toward the end of October. Within the week after your pig is butchered, your unsmoked meat will be frozen and ready. We will call you to set up delivery and payment. We can deliver to Acworth and Alstead folks—we’ll make special arrangements for others to get their meat (note: our freezer space is limited). A couple of weeks later, the smoked portion of your meat will be ready for delivery / pickup.

If you have any questions, feel free to call us!
