Sharing The Bounty
Accepting Donations Year Round
What are we doing?
Our immediate goal: Collect funds to help cover the costs to raise and butcher 2 hogs per year. The hogs will be given standard processing, packaged into 4 boxes with approximately 40lbs of meat each, and delivered to 8 families in our community, free of charge and straight to their freezer.
​
Here's some fun numbers:
The cost breakdown for one pig, which will feed 4 families from OUR farm: (this considers forage, breed, and average grow out time)
Feed for 1 piglet from about 20lbs to approximately 250lbs live weight: $150
Cost for standard butchering for a 250lb pig: Approximately $300
Totaling : $450 per piglet
​
If enough funds are raised during our summer months; Farm fresh, free range whole chicken will be added to the donations.
​
The real goal: To give hungry families a healthy and nutritious source of protein and help fight the battle against food insecurity and to build community with all people; those hungry and those with an abundance.
