Cutting Instructions

After you are notified by HOWE Farms with your processing date, you will then place your cutting instructions with the processor (butcher). The earlier the better!
Your HOG is processed by This Old Farm, you will call THEM WITH your cutting instructions.

Processing

When hogs are approximately 225-250 pounds, we will take them to the processor (butcher). We utilize This Old Farm in colfax, in. Processing dates selection is based on availability.
After the hogs are weighed, we will notify you within 1-2 days with your Hot Carcass weight and total balance due, not including processing. Your remaining balance will be due immediately after notification. After we have received payment in full, we will then notify the processor that they can release your order to you for pick-up. Payment methods accepted: Check (payable to howe Farms), PayPal, Venmo, Debit / Credit Card, and Zelle.

Pickup & Payment for Processing

Approximately 1 week after your hog goes into the processor, it will be packaged, frozen, boxed up, and ready for pickup. If you have smoked cuts, you will need to pick them up the following week. We realize making two trips to the processor isn't ideal, but it's necessary to ensure you receive the hog that you paid for. Smoked/cured meats take 12-14 days to process, making it totally worth the wait! Orders will not be released until Howe Farms has been paid in full for total balance due.
You are responsible for pickup at THIS OLD FARM IN COLFAX, IN. Processing fee will be due to them upon pick up. Check with them regarding accepted forms of payment.
