Pork bones are ideal for making delicious and nutritious bone broths, soups, and stocks. Slowly simmering the bones allows the marrow and collagen to break down, resulting in a richly flavored gelatinous broth, full of nutrients. Roasting the bones ahead of time results in a deep savory flavor. Simply simmer the bones with onions, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, and pepper for a few hours!
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.
