How to Purchase Wholesale Pork
welcome to Hickory Hollow Farm
Buying Delicious Local Pork for Your Family
Does your family love a big breakfast? You know the kind that includes sausage or bacon? Or maybe even both? Then buying pork wholesale is definitely the way to go!
One of the questions that our customers often ask, after they place an order for beef, is “Hey do you know anyone that sells hogs?”
And now we can say, “YES! Yes, we do!!”
We are super excited to be partnering with AW Meat House in Argilliate, Kentucky (near Ashland, KY) to be bringing you a delicious and amazing deal on pork!
At Hickory Hollow Farm, we think family is pretty darn important. So we know that you want the best for your family too. Let us walk you through the process of purchasing pork. Then you can make the best choice for your family with as few surprises as possible.
Purchasing Local Raised Pork
You can buy your pork by a half or a whole. On average, hogs will weigh between 300-325 lbs, live weight.
Your total pork package ( half or whole) will include:
- Pork – half or whole.
- Slaughter fee.
- Processing
- Curing.
When you order wholesale, you can customize your order. You can choose from the following delicious options:
- Bacon
- Sausage
- Pork Chops
- Pork Butts
- Ribs and more!
How To Place A Pork Order?
With ongoing monthly processing dates, now is the perfect time to order a hog.
When you decide to purchase pork wholesale, you first request a processing date. A processing date is the date that your hog will go to the butcher.
Once your hog is at the butcher it will be 3-4 weeks before your pork cut package will be ready to pick up. This allows your pork time to age in an controlled environment for maximum flavor and tenderness.
Here are the simple steps:
- Call or text us at 937-302-8123 to let us know what month you want to place your order. Remember, your pork will be ready around 3 weeks AFTER your processing date.
- Mail or send in a deposit to secure your processing date.
- Anticipate a call. Once your hog is at the processor, we will give you a call to let you know.
- Call AW Meat House to place your wholesale pork custom order. When you buy wholesale you get lots of options such as if you want your sausage mild, medium, or hot!
- Pay for the remainder of the balance for your hog to Miranda at Hickory Hollow Farm.
- Pick up your pork! Lastly, you will receive a call from AW Meat House to go and pick up your wholesale pork order.
How Do I Secure My Pork Processing Date?
After you have requested a processing date, you will send in a deposit to hold your spot. Your deposit must be received before your hog will be sent to the butcher.
Currently, we accept payments of cash, personal check, or Venmo @hickoryhollowfarm (no s).
- $50 for a 1/2 pork
- $100 for a whole pork
Do I Get To Personalize My Pork Cut Sheet?
We will notify you when your pork is at the processor. You will then contact the processor and put in your pork sheet order. We are happy to chat with you about your general choices. And the processor will be able to walk you through the specifics on your pork package options.
You may customize the cuts you receive! Here are some options to consider when placing your pork cut sheet order:
You may also customize how the cuts you request are cut or seasoned!
Chop Thickness: How thick do you want your pork chops? I prefer 1 1/2 inch thick bone-in, as I like to cook them in the air fryer and they do better if they are a little thicker.
Hot, Medium, or Mild: How would you like your sausage seasoned? Or you can ask for different flavoring such as sage!
Pork Roast Weight: Some roasts can be up to 10 lbs. So choose the size that will be best for your family!
Bacon: We love how AW Meat House fixes bacon! So be sure to order some bacon and let them know how thick you want it cut.
Pork Bones: You can also request your pork bones for your pup or your pork fat to render into lard.
How Much Does a Half a Pork Cost?
If you have never bought pork wholesale you are probably wondering what a half or whole pork cost.
Half a pork costs $375
Whole pork is $700
Your pork package includes flat fee, hog, curing, and processing and packaging.
Upon placing an order, you will send in a deposit that will be applied to your order.
Once your hog is at the processor, we will notify you. You will then send the remaining amount for your pork to Miranda Lamb via check or by Venmo (@hickoryhollowfarm). You must send in remaining payment BEFORE picking up your pork package.
How Much Pork Should I Buy?
Families (4 to 5 people) will typically eat a whole pork in one year. Every family is different so take into account how often you eat at home, how many people are in your household and how many times you eat pork in a week. Just a note, if you are used to buying beef wholesale, a half a pork is about the same weight as a quarter a beef.
We look forward to serving you and your family. Call to place your order at 937-302-8123 or to ask any questions.
