Whole Hog Butchery Dinner & Demo
An evening of food, craft butchery, and a little friendly competition.
First, guests will enjoy a multi-course tasting menu featuring a variety of cuts from our forest-raised pork, prepared by the Wildom team and expert butchers John Blewitt & Jared White. Each dish highlights different parts of the pig, giving you a deeper appreciation for the whole animal and its culinary potential.
Then, the real show begins.
With a half hog on the table, John and Jared will break it down piece by piece, explaining where each cut comes from, how it’s traditionally used, and different ways to cook it. Guests will walk away knowing just how few slices of bacon come from a single pig—and why there’s more to love beyond the belly.
And here’s where things heat up: This is the only opportunity to purchase fresh pork as it’s being cut, including specialty cuts not available at our farm store. As guests call dibs on their favorite pieces, the energy gets competitive in the best way possible—because nothing beats taking home a cut you watched being carved right in front of you.

Our heritage breed pigs are raised in the forest, where they root, forage, and fatten up on acorns as they roam through rotationally managed woodlands. Their diet is supplemented with organic, corn- and soy-free feed and rich whey from FireFly Cheese, resulting in deep red, beautifully marbled meat with the kind of silky, melt-in-your-mouth fat you won’t find just anywhere. This is pork unlike any other—rich in flavor, naturally balanced, and a true reflection of the land they were raised on.

FAQs – Whole Hog Butchery Dinner & Demo
What exactly is a butchery demo?
This is a butchery demonstration, not a slaughter. The animal has already been humanely harvested before the event. What you’ll witness is the craft of whole-animal butchery—essentially, watching a single large piece of meat skillfully broken down into smaller, recognizable cuts like chops, ribs, and roasts. It’s a culinary experience, not a graphic one!
Do I get to participate?
This is a hands-off demo, so guests will be watching rather than handling knives. However, you’re encouraged to ask questions and get a front-row look at expert butchers at work.
Is this a dinner or just a demo?
Both! The evening starts with a multi-course meal showcasing different cuts of our forest-raised pork. Once dinner is complete, the butchery demo begins.
Can I buy fresh pork?
Yes! This event is the only opportunity to purchase freshly cut pork, including specialty cuts not available in our farm store. Guests love to call dibs on their favorite cuts as they’re carved, so be ready!
