The Revenue Model
Revenue at Stillwater Farm will be generated through three primary channels: live animal sales, premium pork products and a program called Sowshare.
Iberian Heritage Hog Sales
Stillwater Farm will offer high-quality Iberico and Iberian Grazer pigs with it unique oleic acid rich, heart healthy fat, often called the “Wagyu of Pork”, through the following channels:
Breeder Pigs – Sold to farms seeking to develop or enhance their own Iberian-based breeding programs.
Gilts and young Boars will sell for $800. Sows and breeding Boars for $1,500 or more depending on the production standards.
Feeder Pigs – Sold to individuals or farms intending to raise pigs for breeding or processing
Pigs at 75 to 100 lbs. for sale at $3.50 per lb.
Finished Pigs (≈250 lbs.) – Sold live (“on the hoof”) for whole or half-hog processing
Pigs at 250 lbs sell for $2.50 per lb. (approximately $625) perfect for the freezer
Premium Pork Products
Heralded as the “Wagyu of Pork,” Stillwater Farm pork products will be marketed as premium, health-conscious, and artisan-quality offerings:
Pig-Pulling Piglets (≈100 lbs.)– A specialty smoked delicacy featuring the whole young pig
$300 per chilled and smokehouse ready carcass. The piglets can be smoked at home or Stillwater Farm will handle the smoking process with a prescription of hickory, pecan, oak, and sassafras wood. Smoking in our legendary smokehouse and cooking in our smoker for $125 is a good deal. Cooked down it produces 40 to 50 lbs of delicious, smoke flavored pork to feed a crowd of 50 to 75 people. That’s just $5 to $6 per person. What a deal!!!
Smoked Country Hams–Stillwater Farm country hams are smoked with a mixture of woods and cured for at least 300 days.
Hams sell for $15 per lb. It takes a long time to get the twang of this smoke and cure just right. It is a rarity in Texas and deep south to have this cured meat that is famous in the Appalachians. Even in the Appalachians one will not find Iberico hams.
Aged Prosciutto– Cured for at least 400 to 500 days in a temperature and humidity controlled room.
Iberico Prosciutto can cure literally for 3 to 4 years without going rancid as would heritage breed pork and sell for $1500 to $2,000 per ham. It sells for $20 per lb. and can be cut to order. Understandably the longer it cures the more expensive the ham.
Select Cuts– These cuts are sold to restaurants for specialty dishes and to retailers stores
See website for retail sales and wholesales are negotiable.
Direct-to-Consumer Sales– via an online store (premium bundles and curated offerings)
See website for retail sales pricing.
Strategic Principle: Stillwater Farm is committed to avoiding commercial/auction barn markets and intends to sell only into premium channels that reflects the quality of the product.
