There are several threads on here re pricing.  Also worth checking out the legality, unless its just to friends and family can be tricky.

You call them swines which isn't a word we use for pigs very often in the UK, so depending where you are that decides on the rules & regs and what you can charge. It also depends on the provenance of the meat is it pedigree, cross bred, a rare breed, when you say its cut up, is it in a big poly bag or is it vac packed? As Hilary's mum says theres lots of threads here on the forum, its just a case of reading through them. Enjoy your pork.
