Jowl ends are great for adding flavor to vegetables and soups. Or, use as you would bacon. Pork jowl is undoubtedly old fashioned, from the days when people wouldn't dare waste a bit of food.

Who doesn't love the flavor of bacon? It goes in so many dishes, from soups to stews to casseroles to scrambled eggs.
Like other "underutilized" cuts, jowl bacon emerged as a way to use every part of the pig. It's an old-fashioned way of getting as much bacon as possible from the pig - and ensuring that no part would go to waste.
Our farming practices prioritize the health of our land and animals and you! Here's what sets our pork apart:
✓ Our hogs are raised in their natural habitat - the forest. They're outdoors all day, 365 days a year. They spend their days foraging for plants and nuts and bugs, rooting, and taking mud baths.
✓ Our hogs are fed a local, 100% traceable feed. And, of course the feed is GMO-free, too.
✓ Our hogs help replenish and restore the land. Hogs make manure, and manure is the best natural fertilizer for the land. And, it requires no extra inputs like bags or fuel to transport it!
These practices result in delicious pork with full flavor and the best nutrition possible.
When compared to conventional pork, woodland-raised pork like ours contain 2.4x more quality saturated fats, 2.8x more vitamin D, 2x more vitamin E, and 2x more beta-carotene (vitamin A). It contains more nutrition, which means you are nourishing your body.
Our pork jowl pieces will last up to a year in the freezer! Once thawed, it will last 1-2 weeks in the fridge.
