Half hogs now available for $4.50/pound hanging weight, plus you’ll pay the custom butcher fee from Cunninghams Meats. Our half hogs usually weigh in at 100 – 130 pounds.

An Oldie but a Goodie – Hamloaf (buy two)
We just ran into a friend, and Northside Market customer, that reminded us of his love for our hamloaf. The real trick to good hamloaf is using a recipe that’s been passed down for generations and only contains a few measurements with the ingredients list. So – let me highlight for you, my Grandmother’s tried and true hamloaf recipe and encourage you to purchase two pounds of hamloaf and give it a try: (go the pineapple juice route).
Rose Montgomery’s (Jen’s grandmother) Ham Loaf
2 lbs of hamloaf mix
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups cracker crumbs
1 cup milk
salt and pepper
Mix all ingredients together and place in a pan. Back at 350 degrees for 1 hour. After hamloaf has baked for about 1/2 hour, pour sauce evenly over ham loaf. During the last 1/2 hour, periodically take ham loaf out of oven and baste sauce from sides of loaf pan over top of hamloaf.
Sauce:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 cup vinegar or pineapple juice
