Certified Organic Pork
We raise our pigs in a healthy, loving environment with access to plenty of rooting space. They have exposure to wild greens and are fed certified organic grain. Our pigs are an integral part of our whole farm system, busily clearing previously forested land to make the way for more vegetable fields and pasture. We currently are taking orders for half and whole pigs which will be ready in July. We currently have a great supply of individual cuts from ribs to bacon. See below for prices. If you are interested in a particular cut that is not listed, please inquire. We may have it or we can have it cut next time we have or pigs harvested.

HANGING SIDE
Tide Mill Organic Farm is currently accepting a deposit of $100.00 for quality cuts of our prime 100% organically raised pork. Livestock will be ready for harvest in June and July of 2011. We take our pork to Herring Brothers in Dover-Foxcroft (~45 minutes north of Bangor) to be harvested, cut, packaged and frozen. A hanging side of pork, (half a pig), will weigh approximately 100 lbs, although some fluctuation does occur.
Hanging side cost/ lb: $2.80 @ 100 Lbs = $280.00
Butchering: $.80 per pound = $80.00
Smoking (Optional): $1.25 per pound@30 Lbs (bacon, ham, shoulder, and hock) = $37.25
Sausage or Ground Pork: $2.50 per side
Transportation to and from the butchers: $12.50
Total (based on a 100 lb side): $405.00
**Supply is limited. Reserve your side of pork today.**
Please contact us with any comments or questions.
Note: Our goal is for a hanging side to weigh approximately 100 pounds. The packaged pork you receive will be less than 100 lbs, as some shrinkage does occur during cutting. How much shrinkage depends on how you want your side processed. For example, if you do not want the bones, leaf lard, fat back or organ meats, you may receive approximately 70 packaged pounds of meat.
