Oregon Meat Co. – Pasture-Raised Pork Share: Flavor You Can Feel Good About
Join the sustainable food movement with Oregon Meat Co.’s pasture-raised pork share program. Our pigs are born and raised on pasture and spend their entire lives outdoors with space to roam, root, and express their natural behaviors. They are fed a locally milled, corn and soy-free diet, resulting in rich, flavorful pork raised with care and integrity.
Why Choose Our Pasture-Raised Pork?
- Pasture-Raised: Our pigs are born and raised on pasture, enjoying the freedom to forage and explore. They spend their entire lives outdoors, in the sunshine and fresh air, with plenty of room to run, root, and just be pigs.
- Corn and Soy-Free Diet: Our pigs are fed a specially formulated, corn and soy-free ration, milled locally and delivered fresh each week. This results in healthier, more flavorful pork that’s better for both the pigs and you.
- Ethical & Humane Treatment: Our pigs live stress-free lives with plenty of space and minimal handling. We believe that happy, healthy animals produce the best quality meat, and our farming practices reflect this belief.
Our Half Pork Share
Our Half Pork Share is designed for households looking to stock their freezer with a variety of premium cuts. Each half hog is processed using our standard cut list. Cut selection may vary slightly, and substitutions may be made at the butcher’s discretion.
Custom cutting is not available for half hog shares.
A Typical Half Hog Includes:
- Pork chops
- Bacon
- Ham, ham steaks
- Sausage
- Shoulder roasts
- Arm roasts
- Pork loin
- Spare ribs
Imagine chops on the grill, slow-smoked pulled pork, homemade breakfast sausage, and rich bacon from pigs raised the way nature intended.
From Pasture to Plate: How Pricing Works
