Our Pasture-Raised Pork Shoulder Picnic Roast comes from the lower portion of the shoulder, just below the Boston butt, where the meat is richly marbled and naturally flavorful. This hardworking area develops generous connective tissue and balanced fat that melts beautifully during slow cooking. Raised humanely in the stress-free and natural environment of our regenerative farm, where our pigs root, forage, and explore freely in our pesticide-free grassy pastures, this roast carries a clean, mildly sweet flavor and tenderness that reflect a natural life lived outdoors. The picnic roast is a beloved choice for pulled pork, slow roasts, BBQ, carnitas, comforting stews, and hearty gatherings.

Our meats are free of nitrates, nitrites, sulfates, sulfites, MSG, hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, and sugars. We take pride in delivering the highest-quality, healthy, and delicious meat straight to your doorstep.
