What size freezer do I need for a 1/2 Hog?

At ~60 total pounds of meat, a stand-alone freezer is recommended. A 1/2 Hog will fill a small 5 cu ft chest freezer about half full.
Rule of thumb: 1 cu ft freezer space for 25 lb meat

What's cooking in my kitchen 🍳

Our family of 5 eats most meals at home. Here's what's happening in my kitchen this week

The struggle was real this week. 🥶
I ran out of stick butter on day 2 of no school.
My commitment to limiting white flour and sugar in my personal diet, hit a speed bump.
But there was meat in the freezer, so it was sausage patties for breakfast & chili for dinner.

At Blue Silo, we grow beef, pork and chicken on our family farm to feed our neighbors in the Ozarks around Springfield, MO. We believe buying farm grown, local meat should be simple & easy because everyone deserves to know where their food comes from. Eating local meat supports small farms for future generations. Small, family owned farms are vital to our food system & local economies.
