Local Berkshire Pig Butchery Demo at Savenor’s Butchery

Join us at Savenor’s Butchery for an immersive nose-to-tail butchery demonstration featuring a locally raised Berkshire pig from Heritage Grazers farm in Vermont. Led by our expert butcher, this event offers an inside look at how we break down a whole hog with precision, respect, and a deep understanding of sustainable meat practices.

You'll learn:
• How to source high-quality pork and what makes Berkshire pigs so exceptional
• Why knowing your farmers matters—from animal welfare to flavor and transparency
• The fundamentals of whole-animal butchery, including primal cuts, specialty cuts, and how every part of the pig can be used

This is a demonstration-only and include a light tasting of our favorite pork! No hands-on butchery, just rich knowledge sharing, in-depth explanations, and the rare chance to see each step up close. Bring all your questions. Our butcher will walk you through our techniques, tools, and the craft of whole-animal breakdown.

Perfect for home cooks, food enthusiasts, culinary students, or anyone curious about where their meat comes from.

Come learn, watch, ask, snack, and leave with a whole new appreciation for the craft of butchery and intentionally sourced meat!
