Experience the Joy of Raising and Eating Clean, Forest-Raised Pork with Our Local Pork Share Program
Project FarmSTAND exists to support families in honoring God by choosing food raised with care, integrity, and purpose. That’s why our Local Pork Share Program offers you the opportunity to enjoy clean, nutrient-dense pork raised naturally on our forested, orthomolecular, restorative farm.
Whether you choose a 1/2 Pork Share or a Whole Pork Share, you’ll receive happily raised pork from pigs that forage in silvopastures, fed a non-GMO diet, and raised without vaccines or pharmaceuticals. Our pigs’ natural lifestyle results in exceptional flavor, better nutrition, and a farming process that prioritizes low stress and careful, compassionate care.
“Happy meat is what we eat!”
What Is a Pork Share?
A pork share means purchasing a portion of a pig raised at Project FarmSTAND – forest-raised, non-GMO, and never given vaccines or pharmaceuticals. Once harvested and processed, the meat is divided and prepared for your family.
Shares are priced by hanging weight (the weight of the carcass after harvest and cleaning).
-
½ Share: Yields approximately 120 to 150 pounds hanging weight
-
Whole Share: Averages around 275 pounds, with a 50-pound swing either way
Cost Breakdown
-
½ Share
👉 $100 Deposit
💲 Final cost: $6.00/lb hanging weight (the $6/LB includes ALL processing fees) -
-
Whole Share

This cost structure allows families to access nutrient-dense, forest-raised pork without needing to raise the animals themselves, convenience without compromise.
Why Choose Our Local Pork Share Program?
1. Clean, Forest-Raised Pork
Our heritage breed pigs graze freely on forest forage, roots, and non-GMO feed, living naturally without antibiotics or vaccines. This promotes rich flavor and nutrient density you won’t find in conventional pork, making each bite wholesome and satisfying.
2. Ethical, Low-Stress Harvest
Pigs are harvested humanely on-site by Jason Brake of Northern Path Meatworks, minimizing transport stress and honoring the animal’s life. This method produces tender, high-quality pork that reflects the care and respect we give our animals.
3. Support Local, Not-For-Profit Farming
By joining our program, you support local farming that cares for the land and animals with restorative, orthomolecular practices. This commitment enriches the soil, promotes biodiversity, and strengthens our faith-rooted community.
4. Flexible Share Options
Choose a 1/2 share if you want a manageable amount or a whole share for larger families or those who love to stock their freezer. Both options provide a bounty of fresh, clean pork that fits your household’s needs and lifestyle.
5. Connection to Your Food
Experience the satisfaction of knowing exactly how your pork was raised, fostering trust, health, and a deeper connection to your food. This transparency empowers families to make intentional choices that honor God and His creation.
