How big a pig do I need for a luau, and how many people does a whole pig feed?
A whole dressed roasting pig feeds a crowd — it's the centerpiece for a luau, hog roast, or big family event. The right size depends on your guest count, how it's cooked, and what else you're serving, so we raise and finish pigs across a range of dressed weights. Tell us how many guests you're expecting and we'll help you pick a pig sized to your party. Call (503) 871-1875 to size your roasting pig.
Can I order a whole pig for a hog roast or pig roast?
Yes. A whole pig for sale is exactly what we raise these Berkshire-cross hogs for. Reserve a whole roasting pig for your hog roast, luau, or pig roast and we'll have it ready dressed for the spit, caja, or roaster by your event date. Call (503) 871-1875 to reserve.
How far ahead should I reserve my roasting pig?
As far ahead as you can, especially for summer weddings, graduations, and holiday weekends, which book up fast. Whole pigs are sold by reservation and processing is scheduled around your event date, so the earlier you call the better. Reach us at (503) 871-1875 with your date and guest count.
Should I buy a whole hog or a half hog?
For a luau, hog roast, or pig roast you'll want a whole pig, kept intact and dressed for roasting. If you're filling the freezer instead, a half hog or whole butcher hog cut and wrapped to your order is the way to go. Tell us how you plan to use it and we'll point you to the right option.
What is a Berkshire-cross hog and why does it matter?
Berkshire is a heritage breed prized for marbled, flavorful pork. Our Berkshire-cross hogs are raised alongside our cattle on clean, untreated ground, which gives the meat its flavor and great roasting fat. It's a noticeable step up from commodity supermarket pork.
