Hodges Farm Pastured pork cross cut pork shank can make a beautiful roast accompanied by root vegetables and a rich, red wine sauce.
Our hogs gleefully amble around our wood lines, pastures, and marginal areas, often breaking into a sprint to be the first to fresh acorns, radishes, grubs, and grass. As we observe the conditions in our pastures, we serve as foraging sommeliers for our passel (farmer lingo for a group of hogs), scouting for quality and leading them to the next best spot. To round out the diet of our pigs, we supplement with locally sourced, Non-GMO feed to make sure each stays happy and healthy. We pride ourselves in local partnerships, like we have with Barrier Mills, that help us to keep our quality high and our environmental impact low. While pork is known as “the other white meat”, you’ll notice that our pork more closely resembles a steak than chicken, a sign that our animals receive plenty of exercise.
