Baby back ribs are cut from the area of the ribs that connect to the backbone and include sections of the loin muscle. They are more tender and leaner than spareribs. Baby back ribs can be smoked, grilled, barbecued, or slowly baked in the oven. Season with any dry rub and then glaze with your favorite barbecue sauce for that classic summertime flavor!
Our pigs are raised on pasture all summer, without hormones or antibiotics. We buy in a small herd of piglets each May that is made up of a mix of heritage breeds, including Tamworth and Old Spot. We feed our pigs non-GMO grain, but being raised outside means they also forage for tubers, roots, berries, grubs, and more. From May to November, we rotate the pigs into new paddocks, allowing them to explore and express their natural rooting behaviors, while also fertilizing those areas with manure.
