NEW: 100% pasture-raised heritage-breed Red Wattles pork! Kookoolan Farms is delighted to add a new farmer-partner to our loose co-op of micro-farmers. We now have heritage-breed, 100% pasture raised RED WATTLES pork, (this breed is listed on the Slow Foods Ark of Taste and is considered to be truly exceptional in meat quality and flavor). Jim and Wendy raise the pigs on grass pasture from age 2 days through slaughter. (Pigs are omnivores like humans and chickens, and so require grain and protein supplement to grass; unlike cattle and sheep, pigs cannot live on grass alone.) "Red Wattles" heritage breed, pasture-raised pork available every month in 2012, next available in late May 2012, reserve now for your preferred timing. 1/2 carcasses are between 100-125 pounds hanging weight and offered at $5.25/lb processed hanging weight (this is an all-inclusive price that includes kill fee, disposal fee, cut and wrap, curing and smoking. No nitrate cure available on request. No additional or hidden charges.)

NEW: We have USDA cuts of pasture-raised heritage breed Red Wattles pork available in our farmstore and at the Hillsdale Farmer's Market for cash-and-carry single-cut purchase. Now you can try our pork before you commit to a half!
