Meet "B.B.", our new baby boar, with the goats. B.B. is intended to be the father of our next generation of pigs. He is only nine-weeks old and does not realize his good fortune! Click the photo for a larger picture.

SIGN UP FOR Certified Organic PASTURED PORK
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 or routine antibiotics. 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. You are purchasing a live animal (whole or half pig) which we will deliver to Brandt's in the fall for processing . You pay us $2.50 per pound (prices may change for 2009), based on live weight, with a $25.00 minimum down payment, per half, required to reserve your pig. Regular payments 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. Dani or David would be happy to show you the pigs. They are so much fun to watch, it sometimes interferes with our farm productivity!

DINNER TIME: When the pigs want dinner the noise is deafening. When this picture was taken the pigs had just gotten their grain and you could hear a pin drop. What concentration! Click photo for a larger view
