Cerridwen Farm Offers Meat for Sale Cerridwen Farm has pork and grass-fed veal for sale. Pork: The farm is selling four pigs by the half animal. These animals were raised by the students on vegetable scraps from the kitchen as well as grain. Pricing is $4/lb. for fresh pork cuts and $6/lb. for smoked and cured products (hams, bacon, etc.). Total price for a half will vary but should be around $240 +/-. Grass-Fed Veal: Humanely-raised, free-range, grass-fed veal is a rare treat.

Prices are: Ground veal: $7/lb. Veal cutlets: $9/lb. Veal Chops: $12/lb. Quantities are limited. Please email Kenneth Mulder to purchase either of these products. Meat will be available in about two weeks and will be vacuum-sealed and frozen.
