How the Pork Share Program Works
Reserve your share with a deposit
Monthly payments spread the cost
Pick up your pork in the fall
Choose your cuts before processing
While you’re making payments, we’re raising your pig on pasture—rotating through woodland and forage,
managing health carefully, and sharing updates along the way—so everything is ready for the fall harvest and pickup.
What You Receive
Shares are offered in two sizes, depending on freezer space and household needs.
Whole Share (~150–170 lbs packaged meat)
- A full variety of cuts, including chops, roasts, ribs, shoulder cuts, ground pork, and sausage
- The option to choose how certain cuts are prepared before processing
- Requires 6–8 cu ft of freezer space
Half Share (~75–85 lbs packaged meat)
- The same mix of cuts as a whole share, divided proportionally
- Packaged, vacuum-sealed, and freezer-ready, just like a whole share
- Requires 3–4 cubic feet of freezer space
If you would like a detailed breakdown of individual cuts and cooking ideas, you can explore the full list

Why This Is a Community‑Supported Pork Program
In a community-supported pork program, customers commit to the farm before the pigs are harvested, and the farm commits to raising those pigs with care, intention, and transparency. This shared commitment allows us to plan one harvest each year and focus on animal well-being rather than speed or high numbers. For customers, it means knowing where their pork comes from, how it was raised, and who is responsible for every step along the way.
Our pigs are raised slowly on pasture, with room to roam and forage, and we focus on preventative care rather than routine intervention. We manage a closed herd, prioritize low-stress handling, and feed a non-GMO ration that complements what the pigs find on pasture.
Who This Program Is — and Is Not — For
This program is a good fit if you:
- Want to stock a freezer once per year
- Cook at home regularly
- Value knowing your farmer
This program may not be a good fit if you:
- Prefer small, frequent purchases
- Need year‑round, on‑demand availability
- Do not have freezer space
From Our Customers and Our Ranch
“The pork from Jones Hill Ranch is the best I’ve tasted in decades. We’ve purchased two half pigs and have always been delighted.”
— Pork Share customer
This program exists because we care deeply about how animals are raised and how food ends up on people’s tables. By working directly with families who value the same things, we can raise pigs in a way that feels honest, humane, and sustainable for the long term.
One ranch, one harvest, one shared commitment.
