Back Fat

Our pasture-raised pork back fat is the ultimate ingredient for crafting high-quality lard with a smooth, neutral flavor. Ideal for baking, frying, and traditional cooking, this premium fat is naturally lower in saturated fat than other animal fats while still delivering a rich, clean taste.

With a smoke point of 370°F, it’s perfect for sautéing, roasting, or deep frying, offering a stable and healthier alternative to industrial oils. Plus, it’s high in vitamin D and B-complex vitamins, making it a nutrient-dense choice for home cooks and chefs alike.

Why Choose Our Pasture-Raised Back Fat?

Naturally Raised – Our hogs roam freely on pasture, foraging on nutrient-rich grasses and roots, supplemented with locally grown grains and legumes for optimal health.

No Hormones or Antibiotics – Ever – We believe in raising pigs the right way, without synthetic additives, ensuring clean, natural fat.

Sustainable & Flavorful – Raised with regenerative farming practices, our back fat produces lard that’s silky, pure, and perfect for baking or frying.
