We sell our pork as Sides, $100 Sample Packs, Cuts, and made into Sausage Rolls.

AVAILABLE NOW: We are taking a break from raising pigs in the 2020 season. There will be no sides available in 2020. Cuts are available on Saturdays at the Denman Island recycling centre, until we are sold out. Sausage Rolls will be available when we are once again able to source puff pastry – stay tuned! Contact us if you would like to stay updated on when sides might be available again in 2021.

 

OUR PIGS

We raise free-range, heritage breed pigs on pasture and forest runs. We raise heritage breeds because they have lovely personalities and produce consistently outstanding pork.

Our pigs eat a locally produced non-GMO, non-medicated feed from Top Shelf Feeds in Duncan, non-meat scraps from our kitchen and the Denman Island General Store, and whatever plants, bugs and slugs they root up in their runs. Our pigs spend their days doing pig things – rooting, snoozing in the sun, ripping apart rotting logs, galloping, and rubbing against trees.

We take our pigs to Gunter Bros. Meat Co. for processing, a short drive north of Courtenay. We take them over on the first ferry from Denman, on the same day they will be slaughtered to minimize their stress.

PORK SIDES

This is the most economical way to buy our pork. A side is a half pig.You get half of everything – half the bacon, one shoulder, half the bones (for stock), etc. The pork comes cut, wrapped and frozen, and takes up about 2-3 cubic feet of freezer space.You get some choice as to how your share is butchered and packaged – however, no, you can’t get all bacon! A $200 deposit reserves a side, with the balance paid when the pork is ready at $5.90 per pound hanging weight (usually 85-95 lbs), plus the cost of any curing, smoking and sausage preparation you choose to have done.

Buying by the side is win-win for customer and farmer. By purchasing a side, the customer benefits by getting top quality well-raised heritage pork at a very reasonable price. And, we, the farmers, get a bit of income up front to help us cover some of the costs of raising our pigs – purchase price, feed, transport, infrastructure building and repair, and butchering.

To know when sides are available, send an email to info[at]tworoadsfarm.ca and we’ll add you to our pork mailing list. Sides can be picked up in Courtenay and on Denman.We will deliver to other locations on Vancouver Island if we have sufficient orders. We make one delivery of sides to Vancouver in the fall.

$100 SAMPLE PACK

We take reservations for a limited number of Sample Packs. A Sample Pack gives you a variety of different cuts, worth at least $100 – like a taster pack. We ask for a $50 deposit to reserve a Sample Pack. We’ll give you a call when the pack is ready, and you’ll have a week to pick up your pack from the farm or arrange a Comox Valley pick up point. Every pack is slightly different – pick up your pack early to have your pick of the bunch!
