Pasture-Raised Pork
Our pigs live the kinds of lives pigs were intended to live – outside, rooting and foraging for food in the sunny pastures and woodlands of our Lanesborough, Massachusetts farm. We supplement their diet with GMO-free grains, resulting in pork with superior taste and quality.

Purchase a Pork Share
One of the most popular ways customers purchase our pork is through whole and half shares. Pork shares offer significant savings over buying cuts at market and they allow you to work directly with the butcher, but the pricing can be tricky to wrap your head around. When you buy a whole or half pig, you pay two people: the butcher and us. We charge by the hanging weight, which is the animal's weight after it is slaughtered and cleaned but before it is cut up. Butcher costs vary depending on how you have your share cut. Feel free to contact us with questions.
Half Pork Share
A half share contains about 60-70lbs of pork, which ends up being about 4 or 5 grocery bags. You work with the butcher to determine what cuts you will receive. A typical half share might include 20 pork chops, 2 roasts, 1 ham, 8 ham steaks, 8 lbs of bacon, 3 lbs of ribs, 9 lbs of sausage, etc.
Deposit: $50
Balance: $4.75/lb based on hanging weight, minus deposit, plus butcher fees
Pick-Up: at Square Roots Farm, time/date TBD, usually in the fall
Whole Pork Share
A whole share contains about 120-140lbs of pork, or double a half share. Customers who order a whole pig usually have additional freezer space and enjoy their pork for the entire year.
Deposit: $100
Balance: $4.25/lb based on hanging weight, minus deposit, plus butcher fees
Pick-Up: at Square Roots Farm, time/date TBD, usually in the fall
