Many of us small farmers sell whole and half hogs or even have individual cuts packaged for resale. Many of us raise our livestock outdoors, in free ranging systems and don’t sell animals that have been treated with antibiotics and are against the use of growth hormones. If you lived near me I would be able to have our USDA approved butcher have one ready to your liking. A pigs head is not something that we regularly have people asking for but it is do-able.

Well, the ones we used came frozen from our meat purveyor, and I did ask about where we could get fresh ones. Apparently fresh ones are available at farmers markets. I doubt you’ll be able to find one just strolling through on any given day, but I’m sure if you talk to one of the pig farmers/ butchers in advance, they can get one for you.
