Forest-Raised Pork

Here at Barrett Cabin Farms, we raise our pigs in the forest — where pigs are naturally meant to live. Forest-raised pork isn’t just better for the pigs; it’s better for the land and better for you.

The forest provides a cooler, lower-stress environment than open pasture, along with abundant natural forage that supports healthy growth and exceptional flavor. Our pigs are raised across multiple forested land plots, allowing us to maintain a consistent supply of pork while prioritizing animal health and responsible land stewardship.

In addition to natural forage, our pigs are raw-milk fed, which contributes to improved tenderness, richer flavor, and overall meat quality. Our hogs are finished at 250–300 lbs, the optimal weight range for excellent pork texture and taste.

All pork is processed at a USDA-inspected facility, then carefully vacuum-sealed and frozen to preserve freshness and quality.

Pork shares are offered by waitlist only. When shares become available, customers are contacted in the order received. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your share and is applied toward your final balance at pickup or delivery. Free local delivery is included.

About our pricing

Bulk pork shares are priced by hanging weight, which is the standard method used by processors. Hanging weight reflects the size of the hog after harvest and before trimming, deboning, and packaging.

The take-home (packaged) weight is the final amount of pork customers receive after processing. For pork, final take-home weight typically averages 70–75% of hanging weight, depending on cut selections and trim preference.

Estimated take-home weights are provided to help customers plan freezer space and understand expected yield. Actual weights may vary slightly by animal.
