How will my pork be butchered for me?
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.
