Red Wattle Pork
Froghill Country Farm raises Red Wattle pigs. Red Wattle is a heritage breed, and our stock comes from registered boars and are raised on our farm near Arlington, WA.
The pigs are raised on our farm with feed from Eden Acres, Tractor Supply Co. and/or other local businesses for supplies and materials. So, you can rest assured that your purchase supports local farming and businesses.
Farm sale of meat is different from retail sales. Pork is sold in full or half shares direct from the farm. The pigs are slaughtered on the farm for identified customers and the pork cannot be further distributed for retail sale after receipt from the butcher. The customer pays the butcher directly for slaughter & meat processing which includes cutting, curing, packaging, and freezing.
Based upon your Del Fox – Pork Butcher Order with Del Fox Meats you will receive bacon or pork belly, sausage, hams, pork chops, roasts, loins, etc. The butcher hangs the carcass for a few days and then cuts & cures your order and flash freezes it. Your order will typically be available within 2-3 weeks of our processing date.
The butcher will then call you when your order is ready for pickup (Please do not call them before they call you) from their location which is in Stanwood, Washington. Depending upon your share size and transportation time to your home, you may need 2-3 large coolers or boxes for all your pork so plan pickup accordingly depending upon your travel time.
