Anyone know anyone that knows anyone that raises some piggie piggies? Thanks, Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommy3rd 132 Posted September 13, 2010 I'll ask some of my Filipino friends who do Lechon (Roast Pig) where they get theirs. Jersey City. There's a couple places. There's also a place in Passaic. The average price is $175 for a whole pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted September 14, 2010 This is about 2 miles from my house. Not sure if they sell whole or half carcasses, but it would be worth a phone call. http://www.elyfarmproducts.com/ Good luck. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,878 Posted September 14, 2010 My friend goes to Valley Provisions in the Ironbound section of Newark. The address is 223 Wright St Newark, NJ 07114 (973) 824-2076 If you order a fresh whole pig you would have to go there and put a deposit down and usually have to place the order by tuesday or wednesday and the pigs will be there by friday morning. They are only open until noon on saturdays and closed on sundays, the rest of the week they are open at 7am - around 4pm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffesonm 0 Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks all for the suggestions. I called Ely Farm but unfortunately they only sell parts. I'm looking for that type of place though... someplace pigs are raised on a farm rather than some giant meat factory. If anyone has other suggestions let me know.

Wait...do you want it roasted already or are you planning to make a pit and roast it yourself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffesonm 0 Posted September 15, 2010 Wait...do you want it roasted already or are you planning to make a pit and roast it yourself? Neither one, just looking for some bulk pork I've got a smoker and like to make pulled pork, sausage, bacon, etc..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raceruss2003 0 Posted September 16, 2010 There used to be a butcher shop in Mickleton(sp), NJ by Swedesboro/Paulsboro that sold my grandfather whole pigs. They were called Haine's. This was a few years back. I did drive past there a couple months ago and the sign was still there but you can't see the building from the road. I too have a smoker and love to smoke pork shoulders. Do you also make your own BBQ sauce? I got hooked on the stuff when I went to college in VA. IT was funny...they couldn't make a hoagie, pizza, or cheese steak to save their lives so it was like torture for 4 years. When I came back up here, I expereinced the same thing with BBQ. Luckily I worked at an Ex's BBQ restraunt and used to mix the "secret formula" sauce and remember how to make it as nobody up here knows how to make good BBQ.
