Pig Butchery Classes

Picture
Whistling Duck Farm 2012

​The class offered educates the customer how to perform a traditional slaughter of a pig.

Please note: this is not a mobile slaughter unit or state certified butchery service.

I am available to assist hobby farmers who would like to butcher their own pig, but are unfamiliar with the process and would like to learn. Pig must be supplied by the customer, I will bring a slaughter weapon, butchery knives, and other tools needed and guide you through the process. Butchering a pig is a two day process, depending if you want to do your own breakdown or send it to a local cut and wrap service. Generally, each day will last 5 hours depending on how much time is devoted to teaching and explaining, plus each kill is different depending on the animal's temper and the circumstances of the environment.



The first day will be killing, scalding, cleaning, gutting, and hanging the entire pig over night. The second day, if you choose to do it yourself, is a full day of breaking the pig down into cuts and vacuum sealing them for the freezer or preparing them to dry cure.


If interested please contact me for availability and prices.

What Our Customers Are Saying

"This is my second year signing up for the Goat Milk CSA Membership and I have always had good experiences. The milk is delicious and pickup is very straightforward. The milk also stays fresh for a very long time, meaning Gilly does an excellent job of sanitizing and cooling the milk to ensure safety! I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for a local raw goat milk source."

"Best pork I've ever had, hands down. The depth and richness of flavor is unlike anything I've had before. Gilly and Evan really put their heart into it and it's shines through in every bite!! Nice to stop by the farm and see the pigs living the good life too. It's good, nourishing and flavorful meat you can feel really good about."
​-Erich R.

"Our family has been drinking and cooking with the best goat milk thanks to Rogue Artisan Foods. When our baby transitioned from mama's milk, it was totally smooth with the help of this amazing goat milk. The ground pork makes the best ever meatballs, and the bacon is too delicious. We know that Gilly and Evan always treat their farm animals well, and only feed them good foods (zero GMOs). The milk and meat have helped us localize our diets and it tastes way better than anything you'd buy at a box store!"
