Organically Fed Pork Raised on Pasture

At Rue de Bungaloo Farm, we run a once per season feeder-to-finish pork operation, and sell only by the whole or half hog. We love our pigs dearly and strive to give them the best life possible while they'e here, which includes lots of head and belly scratches. This also means they spend all their time on pasture and get fed organic grain (the grain is certified organic, though our farm is not) and plenty of fruits and veggies, especially apples from our orchard. In 2024, we are asking $4.50/lb hanging weight for our pork plus our customers pay for the butcher fees. The pigs are butchered each fall at Geiss Meat Service in Merrill, WI. As previously stated, we ONLY sell by the whole or half hog (rather than selling individual cuts). We also require a $100 non-refundable deposit to "hold" your hog for you; this will be subtracted from your payment total when the  meat is ready for pickup. 

A whole hog hanging weight can vary greatly depending on many different factors, usually falling between 200-300lb depending on pig type, size we acquire them at, and individual genetics. We will do our best to accommodate customers wishes for a smaller or larger sized pig but we cannot guarantee this. Based on estimated hanging weight, you can expect a $900-$1000 investment in your hog before butcher fees are added. Average butcher fees cost an additional $350-$400 for a whole hog depending on cut choices and pig size. All in all, after losses due to processing (about 70-80% of the hanging weight will actually end up as pork in the freezer), the price across the board for all cuts will be between $8.00-$9.25/lb on average. Reach out to us with questions or to get on our list to reserve your pork! We sell out very quickly and only raise a limited amount of pigs per year.
