Pork Ears

You've probably heard about the benefits of nose-to-tail eating. It helps you access the range of protein, vitamins, and minerals that a whole animal offers. And pig ears are an important part of nose-to-tail eating!

Ears are prized in many Eastern cultures for their flavor, texture, and richness in iron, zinc, potassium, and healthy fats. And they're an excellent way to get your collagen from whole foods. 

Boil the pig ears with a few cups of broth, a handful of garlic cloves, a few tablespoons of peppercorns, and a teaspoon each of cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes for 40-50 minutes. Or use your pressure cooker on high for 90 minutes. Allow to cool and slice thinly. You can eat as is or fry them for an even more decadent treat. 

Want to feed your pet instead? Raw pork ears are an excellent treat - not only do they provide nutrition for your dog's skin, hair, and joint health, but they also help clean their teeth. 

Our farming practices prioritize the health of you, your family, and the land. Here's what sets our practices 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, nuts, and bugs, 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 work to naturally keep our forest healthy by spreading their manure, eating invasive plants, and clearing bush to provide sunlight and nutrients to mature trees.

These practices result in delicious pork with full flavor and the best nutrition possible.

Pork ears are naturally rich in protein, quality fats, zinc, iron, and collagen.

Pork ears will last up to a year in the freezer! Once thawed, it will last about 2 days in the fridge.
