Boston Butt Roast

Heritage Pork Boston Butt Roast

If you're making pulled pork, this is the cut you want. Boston Butt comes from the upper portion of the Pork Shoulder and has the generous marbling and connective tissue that make it exceptionally well suited to long, slow cooking.

Given enough time, that fat slowly renders and the connective tissue softens, transforming a substantial roast into incredibly tender, juicy pork that pulls apart with a fork.

The Classic Pulled Pork Roast

Boston Butt is a favorite for barbecue because it's flavorful, forgiving and nearly impossible to rush. Smoke it low and slow, roast it in the oven, braise it or put it in the slow cooker and let time do the work.

Once tender, pull or shred the meat for barbecue sandwiches, tacos, carnitas, rice bowls, nachos or simply serve it as a roast with its own cooking juices.

Heritage Pork Makes a Difference

This is a cut where the natural fat and marbling of heritage pork really shine. Rather than trying to make Pork Shoulder lean, we appreciate the fat for what it does during a long cook: adding flavor, moisture and richness to the finished meat.

Raised Differently

Our heritage breed pigs spend their lives outside in our fields and woods, where they're free to root, forage, explore and wallow.

They naturally forage on grasses, clover, roots, berries, nuts and whatever else they find throughout the seasons. Alongside what they forage, they're supplemented with a nutritionally balanced organic feed made without corn or soy.

We raise them slowly, give them plenty of space, and never use antibiotics, hormones or vaccines.
