Important Terms
Ownership:
Once your deposit is paid, you fully own your pig. Your only responsibility is maintaining the Monthly Grow-Out Care Plan, which covers all feeding, housing, handling, and daily management while the pig remains on our farm.
If a payment fails, you have a 5-day grace period to bring it current. After Day 6, the pig is considered abandoned, and New Magnolia Homestead may reassign, rehome, or retain the animal at our discretion unless pickup or delivery arrangements are made.
See our Default & Animal Abandonment Policy for full details.
Subscription Must Stay Active:
If payments lapse, you have 5 days to restart before the animal slot is reassigned.
Butcher Fees:
Paid directly to the processor. Not included in the monthly subscription.
Refunds:
Deposits and subscription payments are non-refundable.
