What You'll Receive
Fresh pork hocks are packed with flavor and nutrients from our heritage pastured raised hogs. These fresh hocks are sliced for your convenience and are sold fresh (not smoked).
Cooking Tips
Cook until the meat falls off the bone for an impressive and healthful meal that will please everyone. Slow and steady cooking works best for this cut, try it braised in the oven, slow cooker, or even smoked on the grill. This cut is versatile and makes the most wonderful pork stock (also use in combination with our marrow bones). When you reduce the stock further you will have the most flavorful gravy made from the best quality ingredients.
How It's Raised
Unconventional- Jamie Lindemann started raising pigs because she was dissatisfied with the flavor and texture of conventional pork purchased at the grocery store. She knew if she wanted better meat, she was going to have to raise it herself.
Unconfined- Jamie regularly moves her pig's fence to a fresh section of pasture where they can root in the dirt and forage for plants. They are supplemented with a grain mix and fresh water.
Unbelievably Good- Berkshire pork (a heritage breed) is renowned for its marbling, juiciness, tenderness and depth of flavor. Berkshire is to pork what wagyu is to beef. Once you try Berkshire pork, you will have a hard time going back to that “other white meat."
Healthier for You- Pasture raised pork has significant health benefits over factory farmed pork, including more omega-3s, selenium, and vitamins A and D.
Humanely Raised- The sows (mama pigs) at Lindy Land & Livestock are never confined to farrowing crates when giving birth (a common and inhumane industry practice). Instead, they raise their piglets in a large pen outdoors where they can care for their young and express their natural instincts.
Antibiotic Free- Antibiotics are never used on the meat pigs.
