How does this work to buy a half or whole pig?
You can place your deposit to hold your spot for buying a half or whole pork from Lazuli Farms!
---
Once your deposit is placed, Lazuli Farms will contact you with details about an upcoming butcher date for your half or whole pig. Together, we can find a time that will work well for you!
---
Lazuli Farms will take your pig to Forestburg Meats to be processed into your final pork packages to fill your freezer! Once your pig is at the butcher, it takes about 2 to 3 weeks for the butcher you cut, wrap, and turn your meat into the final products for your plate. Curing, smoking, and sausage making is a craft that takes a bit of time. But, be patient, it's worth it!
---
Your pork will be flash frozen at the butcher and ready to head into your freezer.

How much pork will I get?
Whole pork:
- approx. 100 to 130 lbs in your freezer
- This will take up approximately 5 to 7 cubic feet of freezer space
- approximately 50 to 65 lbs of pork in your freezer
- this will take up approximately 2.4 to 3.5 cubic feet of freezer space
We're shifting away from charging by the hanging weight of the pig since that can get super confusing!
Instead, you'll find one price for your whole or half pork with the option to choose alternate pork cuts to customize your pork to your needs!
