The best flavor for soups, peas, and stewed dishes. Naturally cured and smoked, with no yucky nitrates or nitrites. From our woodland raised pigs.
*Frozen when fresh and packed in a vacuum sealed package.
Our smoked ham hocks add depth and heartiness to your favorite vegetable-centric meals.
Perfect for soups or stews that need to cook low and slow. We like to use them with collards or split-pea soup.
Ham hocks are also a great option if you're on a budget and looking for a cut that will add flavor and nutrients without breaking the bank. Because our woodland-raised pigs forage and exercise outdoors, they have higher concentrations of collagen and minerals, both of which will break down as you cook the hocks.
Quick Tip: Plan ahead when thawing a ham hock! It takes about 4 to 6 hours per pound to thaw in the refrigerator.
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 hocks will last up to a year in the freezer! Once thawed, they will last 1-2 weeks in the fridge.
