We have so much more meat to love
While we’re off harvesting, dry-aging and hand-cutting your top choice, check out our Butcher’s recommendations and try something new and delicious.
Pork Shank
$11 1.25-1.75 lbs / Ships Frozen
We like to say that the Pork Shank is a cut of many talents. Braise it all day for crazy tender meat that can be used in hearty ragu or to top polenta. Or, try this ham grenade recipe from our pal Chud's BBQ. However you decide to cook it, it’s going to be like no other meat you’ve ever tasted because our pigs develop an incredible flavor and deeper pink hue living out in the woods of Western Kentucky.

What's
In It?
The Pork Shank is the front forearm of the pig. This cut is tough because the pigs develop muscles living in the woods, which in turn gives the meat incredible flavor that tastes next-level compared to layman’s pork. The bone it surrounds has marrow that melts into a braise when slow cooked, making it extra rich. You hungry yet?

Cooking Notes
Pork Shanks are perfect for low and slow cooking. The long cooking time gives the connective tissue and marrow time to melt, creating a luscious final product. Always start your braise by searing over high heat, then add homemade stock, wine, and herbs to add extra layers of flavor to this already delicious cut.
