We source all our pigs locally and exclusively from Greener Days farms in Waldoboro, Maine. They are a small, sustainable off-grid farm focused on raising healthy and happy pigs. They raise Large Black Heritage pigs. We invite you to check out the farm:

How do you cook your pigs?
We use all-natural hardwood lump charcoal. We also add apple wood to elevate the pork with a subtle smoky flavor. We source our apple wood from Boothby’s Orchards in Livermore, Maine. As well as being a working orchard and farm, Boothby's Orchard is also a wedding venue, please check them out.

However, the total cooking time can vary. Some factors include precipitation, wind, ambient temperature, and, of course, the size of the pig.
We will provide you with an accurate arrival time the week of your event.
