We got a whole pig processed here and it was super expensive. It was nearly double what we were charged last year at a different processor. After paying the farmer (which was reasonably priced) and the processor, our pig was roughly $7 a pound!
We ordered chops packaged for a family of 4, ribs, bacon and ham. The chops are packed with all different sizes, so it's super hard to cook for a family. It appears they didn't understand the cuts of meat. Also they did no trimming at all. I understand that a pig is fatty, but every pkg has at LEAST 1/2 inch of fat. Tonight I trimmed 9 oz. Of fat from 4 chops! The ham was not cured correctly. When cooking the ham steaks, blood seeped from the meat! It was really gross. I gave them one star because they tried to make to it right with the ham. They took the ham back and re-cured it for us. read more
