MORE PORK AVAILABLE FOR YOUR FREEZER
We delivered another litter of baby pigs yesterday the 12th. She had 14 total. That is a reasonable and good size litter. They look great!
If you missed out on the last 2 litters that were adopted, you have another chance. If you would like feeder pigs to raise yourself, these ones will be 6 weeks old and weaned just about Christmas Day. Call Blaine at 450 4811 after then, to purchase or tag.
These pigs will be ready for your freezer about May. We will still deliver them to your butcher FREE OF CHARGE. You have TOTAL CONTROL OVER HOW YOU WANT YOUR ANIMAL PROCESSED AND PACKAGED.
If you are interested in the ALL NATURAL, QUALITY PORK for you and your family, this is for you. We do not give the animals any type of growth hormones or chemicals to get them to market weight sooner than God allows.
You purchase the animal at 6 weeks old, we tag it with a number, we set up an account for you and then you pay us on a monthly basis to help with the cost of feed and care. You would pay every month for 4-6 months depending on how fast the animal grows. You could also pay in full at any time, and if you do, call Blaine, as he might give you a special price. Paying by the month, helps us with our feed bills, and helps you pay a little bit each month, rather than the total amount when it’s ready to go to the butcher. When we deliver it to the local butcher, you are responsible for the processing costs, which usually are between 30 and 40 cents per pound. A pig at a good market weight should be bewteeen 200 and 250 pounds.
There are different ‘weights’ you should know about. Live weight is the amount of pounds Blaine gets paid for the animal (you pay him); Hanging weight is the weight of the animal when the butcher is ready to process it; and then there is the total amount of pounds of pork or beef you have in your freezer. Each weight is just a little bit less than the first. If you have questions about this, call Blaine anytime and he can explain it a whole lot easier !!!
OVERALL, YOU USUALLY END UP PAYING BETWEEN $2.00 AND $2.50 PER POUND WHEN YOU’RE SAID AND DONE, AND THAT IS BOTH PORK AND BEEF.
SO IF YOU NEED PORK OR BEEF FOR YOUR FREEZERS, WE HAVE PIGS AND STEERS READY TO ADOPT OUT ANY TIME AFTER CHRISTMAS !!
THIS WILL BE ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS, AND THEY WILL PROBABLY GO QUICKLY.WE ACCEPT CASH, LOCAL CHECKS, AND YOU CAN USE YOUR DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD IF YOU USE OUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT.
You can email us (kmduran@earthlink.net), call the house (814 796 2849); or call us directly (Blaine 814 450 4811) (Karen 814 490 2179).

GIFT CERTIFICATES NOW AVAILABLE
Due to several requests for gift certificates, we are now making them available to everyone. You may purchase them on your next visit to the farm, request by phone (814 490 2179), or request online. You may pay by cash, check, and debit or credit cards if you use our paypal account. We reserve the right to delay the receipt of the certificate until unknown checks clear our bank. If we suspect any duplicating or copying of these documents, we cannot honor them.
You may purchase a gift certificate in any amount. They can be used for ANY product here on the farm. Currently they will be credited on purchases of Milk and Eggs, but once the store opens in the Spring, you can use them for a variety of products: bulk food items, cheese, honey, maple syrup, candy, lunch meat, seasonal produce, garden plants, and cuts of our all natural cuts of beef and pork, raised right here on the farm.
They would make a GREAT stocking stuffer for this Christmas!
