We Grow Pasture-Raised Pork
We Grow pork shoulder roasts range from 2 to 3 lbs. The exact amount will be tallied at the time of pick-up unless you pay in advance. In that case, we will get as close as possible to exactly what you paid for.
The pork shoulder is also commonly referred to as a Boston butt. Pork shoulder is the top portion of the front leg of the hog. The terminology for pork shoulder can vary widely depending on the region. However, the lower ‘arm’ portion of the shoulder is most commonly called the arm pork roast. The upper part of the shoulder, often called the blade pork roast, comes from the area near the loin and contains the shoulder blade bone.
The blade roast is a well-marbled cut. This versatile cut can be pot-roasted whole, cut up for stews or cooked over moist smoke in a smoker to transform it into classic pulled pork barbecue. Whether it is roasted, braised or barbecued, blade roast becomes meltingly tender and deliciously flavorful. Pork shoulder also is often ground for use in making ground pork.
