Looking for a side of pork...

[jeffesonm 0]

Howdy all -

 

I'm looking for a side of pork, maybe a whole, from a local farm somewhere in the NJ/PA/NY area... located in central NJ and willing to travel a bit if the price is right. Anyone know anyone that knows anyone that raises some piggie piggies?

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff

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.

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.

My friend goes to Valley Provisions in the Ironbound section of Newark. The address is

 

223 Wright St

Newark, NJ 07114

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.

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.

I believe Godeks farm in Marlboro, or Manalapan... on Route 79. You buy on the hoof. They slaughter and butcher.

Wait...do you want it roasted already or are you planning to make a pit and roast it yourself?

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.
