Pork & Lard

Many Hands Organic Farm is proud to be one of the very few certified organic pork producers in Massachusetts. Our pigs live in the woods or on the edges of the fields from June – November, with their pasture being rotated monthly early on and as often as weekly as they near harvest.

They eat Green Mountain certified organic hog pellets, forage for a substantial part of their living, and also enjoy garden refuse, particularly enjoying corn cobs and later cider leavings. We buy our Tamworth piglets from Misty Brook Farm in Albion, ME.

We are raising 8 pigs this year. They will be slaughtered at Adams Farm, a USDA and organically certified processing facility in Athol, MA. 

See below for availability and pricing.

The prices for supplies, organic feed, animals and slaughter have gone up significantly each year. Using organic pig stock and grain is an environmental and human health choice that requires us to keep raising prices in order to make a very modest profit on our animal products.

Cuts, such as bacon and ham, are Smoked at Mountain Top Country Meats in Savoy, MA. Although the pork is certified organic, the bacon processing has not been organically certified.

We make our certified organic lard with the fat back and leaf lard from our pigs. We render it on our wood cook stove and freeze it in quart containers. We generally have lard available most of the year, but prefer not to ship in summer. Lard costs $20/quart. We sell it locally and also ship frozen lard in plastic quart containers, packed in insulated boxes sized to contain 1 to 4 quarts.

Lard will be shipped through USPS priority mail. We will bill you separately for shipping once your order has been sent.
