At Homeplace Label, we’re not just selling beef and pork, we’re inviting you into our 5th generation homeplace. Our family farm. Our daily work. Our girls under our feet while we check water troughs and count heads. Faith, hard work, and slow living aren’t an aesthetic here. It's our story.


In 2025, CHD became part of our story and reshaped our mission. We’ve learned firsthand how fragile and sacred life is, and it’s why our standards are personal. We’ve watched God meet us with strength we didn’t know we had, which is why stewardship isn’t just a word to us. It’s our calling to use what we’ve been given to serve other families well.


We raise black angus cattle that are allowed to grow slowly out on pasture, and finished on our custom blend for rich, memorable beef. We also raise AMBA registered Meishan pigs, a heritage breed known for exceptional pork and old world lard quality. You can also expect to see our first Wagyu Angus crosses to be butcher ready in early 2028.


We know our animals, they aren’t just numbers. We don’t rush growth, and we don’t shortcut standards. Because this isn’t just a business to us, it’s stewardship. It’s a calling. And it’s our way of giving back with the land we’ve been blessed to care for.

From our farm to your table, every cut carries a story, ours, and we hope it becomes part of yours too.

Wait, Whipped Meishan Balm?

We take the fat from our AMBA Meishan pigs after butchering and render it down low & slow overnight. Once the fat is completely melted down, we strain it, let it cool, and do it again several times until it is in its purest form.

This then becomes pure lard. I may be biased because of the wrinkles and ears, but Meishans have the best quality finish to lard. It comes out clean, white, and so siky.

Once we have the pure lard, we then put it into our balm recipe and whip it until it's the consistency of cream before piping into jars.

This isn't a new concept, you probably could call it "vintage" even. But when the world decided pigs needed to be grown fast with less fat, we lost this part of the pig and therefor the art of lard for cooking and skincare.

frequently asked questions

When can I buy Wagyu?

Our bull Rowdy will start having calves hit the ground late 2026. They will be butcher ready early 2028. We are extremely excited to be able to offer you this beef soon,

Can I get a beef and pork box?

Yes. The Dual Box combines both, and you can add extras to any box while supplies last.

How does pickup work?

Order online, leave your contact info in the "special instructions" area, and we'll text you when your box is ready. Then pull up for curbside pickup in downtown Swainsboro and we'll load it into your car. For delivery, send us an email or message on FB to arrange.

Can I choose my cuts?

Our signature boxes are packed as listed, but you can add extras like Boston butt, spare rib slabs, bacon, ham packs, and ham hocks while supplies last.

If you would like to select your own cuts, consider reserving a half hog or half cow.

Are all your cattle raised on your farm?

Yes. We have a closed herd, meaning all of our beef is born and raised right here in our fields. This way, we know exactly where your food comes from and can guarantee you're getting only the highest-quality meat from cattle raised with care from day one.

Are your cattle grass fed?

Yes. All of our cattle are raised and weaned on open pasture, then turned back out with the herd to grow naturally until they're ready for finishing. They live happy, low stress lives out on pasture, and we never use antibiotics, hormones or steroids.

How they're finished depends on how you buy:

Organic grain finished: whole and half shares only. Once they reach ideal size, we bring them in and finish them 200+ days on 100% soy free, organic grains and minerals as well as western alfalfa. If you know you want organic grain finished beef, reserve a half or whole cow each year!

Signature boxes and individual cuts. Our boxes and add-ons come from our cattle that are finished on non-organic grains for 200+ days or grass finished cattle. Each box page tells you which one it is, so you always know what you're getting.

What are the hogs fed with?

We have the unique opportunity to provide you with both traditionally finished hogs as well as organic grain finished hogs. These are not "certified" organic animals, but we do our best to feed the the highest quality grain we can find. Be sure to check the descriptions of the pork to see if its organically fed or traditionally fed.

No matter which ration the hog is fed, be assured the pork is still steroid, hormone, antibiotic, and nitrite free.

What is a Meishan?

Meishan pigs are part of the Taihu group of Chinese pigs (so named for the lake in that area) . The Chinese have been selectively breeding domestic swine in this region for over 5000 years.  It is truly a heritage pig, if not one of the oldest domesticated breeds of pigs in the world.

Taihu pigs are prized in China and Japan for their succulent marbled meat and superior lard and fat quality.

The Meishan breed is not only rare here in the U.S. it is rare worldwide. In its native China verifiably pure Meishans are becoming alarmingly less common.
