Each year, we raise heritage breed pigs on rotational, lush pastures. Our pigs spend their days rooting in the grass and dirt, basking in the sun and living naturally as pigs were meant to live. They are fed locally milled grains, pasture raised eggs and fresh milk. Our pigs are raised by hand with love and the quality of our pork reflects this!
We charge $7.50/lb hanging weight for our pasture raised pork shares. Customers are responsible for paying additional kill, cut and wrap fees for their pork share. Butcher is customizable and your meat is cut and wrapped to your specifications.
Whole hogs are typically about 200lbs hanging weight. We offer whole and half hog pork shares. Please note that pork shares are available for LOCAL PICK UP ONLY. No shipping is available at this time.
Pork shares each year are limited and a $200 deposit per half share is required. The balance is due prior to pick up.
We are currently sold out of pork shares for 2024.
"We highly recommend buying pork shares from Willow Ridge Farm. Buying direct from family farms is the only way to truly know where your meat is coming from and how it’s raised—in this case, locally and lovingly! Aside from being incredibly flavorful and delicious, we love knowing how well these beautiful creatures are cared for by the Willow Ridge family. They’re loved and pampered until their last breath, and well nourished with healthy organic feed from local feed producers. Nothing goes to waste when you buy direct, and we love getting all the extra bits from the butcher to make bird suet and pork rinds. This is how food is meant to be."

"We will be life-time clients! We got a whole hog this year and I am so glad that we did. Every bite sings of 'know your farmer, know your food and everything will taste SO GOOD!'
Willow Ridge Farm's consideration of care is what makes the world of a difference in the flavor. To raise a pig on a wholly organic diet and on rotating pasture isn't the easiest way to do it, but what I have come to learn about WRF is that an unrelenting drive for raising the best tasting meat is paramount.
We love all of our different cuts but we joke that there just never is enough bacon or ham! Some of my favorite ways to prepare our WRF pork is in a blackberry balsamic marinade or simply seasoned with salt and pepper and seared. The meat speaks for itself; you don't have to 'dress it up' to make it taste good!"
