A small craft pork shop built around one thing: better pigs.
We start with Duroc pigs -- a heritage breed known for exceptional marbling, rich flavor, and superior fat quality. Everything we do flows from that choice.
Traditional butchery and small-batch sausage making with carefully selected ingredients and transparent sourcing. Just honest craft and Duroc pork, from farm to final product.
The Duroc Difference
Why heritage-breed Duroc pork is a cut above the rest.
Marbling & Juiciness
Duroc pork has significantly more intramuscular fat than commodity breeds, delivering unmatched juiciness in every bite.
Superior Flavor
The deep, rich pork flavor of Duroc comes from genetics -- a natural sweetness and complexity that industrial pork lacks.
Fat Quality
Duroc fat is softer and more flavorful, with a higher percentage of oleic acid. It renders beautifully and adds incredible richness.
Careful Raising
Our pigs are raised with space, proper nutrition, and low-stress handling. Healthy, well-raised animals produce better meat.
