Pork loin cuts & produce update
Pork Loin Cuts
Never sure what cuts to choose? Here are a few tips for cuts from the pork loin — the leanest & most tender part of the pig. If cooking pork chops has been a challenge for you in the past, try out our easy pork chop recipe, which works great with all chop cuts!
- Sirloin Pork Chop: Contains several different muscle groups ・ Delicious braised or stewed
- Center Cut Pork Chop: Very tender and milder flavor ・ Delicious seared or grilled
- Pork Steaks (Shoulder Chops): The most affordable cut because it’s tougher than others — but very juicy ・ Delicious braised, barbecued, or brined
- Loin roasts: The best cut for roasting!
- Tenderloin: Lean and boneless, so don't overcook・Delicious roasted, seared, sautéed, or used in stir-fry
Our pigs are raised in wooded pasture with no antibiotics. They enjoy seasonal acorns, walnuts, and mulberries, along with organic feed — including oats from our farm. Raising pork as nature intended has plenty of benefits, from delicious meat and better nutrient profile to environmental sustainability. Read more about our pastured pork.
