PORK PROCESSING AND HARVESTING

Pork Harvesting and Processing

Typical harvest days for pigs are Mondays; because pork is not aged, it is cut relatively quickly. The items that take the most time to process are hams and bacons, due to the curing and smoking process.

Please have your cutting instructions to us when you drop off your hogs for harvest.
