Getting our Locally Grown Pork, Part 2

Friday afternoon, we received word from Maureen Knapp of Cobblestone Valley Farm that our 1/2 pig processing was complete and that we could stop by at our convenience to pick it up. So we set up a time to head up over to Preble, NY for the pick up this past Saturday. Our pork had been processed to our preferences by Purdy and Sons. In a previous post, I shared how the process worked. Below I shared what we received in our order:

23 pork chops (of which half were smoked)
3 smoked ham steaks
4 varying sized smoked hams
7 - 1lb packs of smoked bacon
8 - 1lb. packs of breakfast sausage
2 - 3 lb pork butt roasts
1 – 2.5 lb. pack St. Louis Style ribs
2 – 2 lb. packs of country style ribs
1 - 4 lb. sirloin pork roast

From the Knapp family, we also purchase our Thanksgiving and summer turkeys and chickens when they are processed. We have found all the meat to be tasty and of high quality. The chicken, and turkey are certified organic. The Knapps do not certify their pork or beef, but they follow organic and humane principles to raise animals.
