Wellesley Island Grown Certified Organic Pastured Pork, raised here on Cross Island Farms, on pasture in the fresh air and sunshine (OK occasional clouds and rain or snow, too!) The pigs are born here and fed organic grain, vegetables, fruit, and pasture, with no hormones, antibiotics, or other chemicals. Allowed to run and play, eat grass, root in the dirt, and occasionally wallow in the mud. Sold by the whole or half pig. The pigs should be between 200 and 250 pounds at butchering. Roaster pigs also available.
This year we have available Tamworth/Yorkshire cross pigs. The Tamworth's are a heritage breed, one of the first breeds of pigs domesticated. They are slower growing and leaner than commercial breeds. The Yorkshires are the standard white commercial pig breed, known for fast growth.
You are purchasing a live animal (whole or half pig) to be slaughtered by Brandt's Mobile Slaughtering in August for processing (or sooner if it is a roaster.) You pay us $3.00 per pound, based on live weight, with a minimum down payment of $50.00 per half or $100.00 per whole required to reserve your pig. (Roaster pigs are by the whole animal only and $3.50 per lb. with $100.00 deposit for the pig and you pay Brandts’ processing charges.) Regular payments are required as the pigs grow. You pay the butcher the processing charges which will vary, depending on the hanging weight, your cutting orders, and how much you want smoked.
