Country Style Pork Ribs

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.

Despite their name, country style ribs are actually not ribs at all, but rather sections of meat cut from the pork shoulder. However, the flavor and texture is similar to a sparerib, but with a higher meat to bone ratio. Country style ribs can be broiled, grilled, or even baked in the oven. Season with your favorite spice rub and barbecue sauce for classic summertime flavor!
