Half Hog

The $100 is a deposit to reserve one of our Red Wattle or Large Black Hogs. We are raising a limited number of hogs and expect them to sell fast.

Our hogs are busy growing to the ideal butchering weight. The hog's "hanging weight" at $5.00 per pound determines the full price of your hog. Our price does not include butchering fees. Typically, our half hogs have a hanging weight of 80 to 115 pounds. When the time comes to butcher your hog, we will deliver the hog to our USDA Certified Processor  and work with you to iron out the butchering details. If you have any additional questions or requests, please call Martin Heritage Farm to discuss.

All of our pork products come from hogs that are humanely treated, pasture raised, hormone free, and antibiotic free.

We source our pork products from our herd of Iowa Swabian Hall and Red Wattle Cross. This world renown breed of hog has a flavor that hearkens back to the old days when pork was the king of meats. Micro-marbling, short muscle fibers, and excellent bellies produce the most exquisite bacon and flavorful meat.
