These meaty gems from our forest-raised pigs bring a world of comfort to your soups and stews, lending a deep, smoky backbone to every spoonful.

Our flavorful ham hocks are a must-have for hearty, comforting meals. To prepare them, start by giving the hocks a quick rinse and pat them dry. For the best results, slow-cook them to unlock their full potential. Place the ham hocks in a large pot or slow cooker along with aromatics like onions, garlic, bay leaves, and your favorite herbs. Add enough water or broth to cover the hocks, and simmer gently for 2-3 hours, or until the meat becomes tender and infused with flavor. For an extra smoky taste, consider finishing them in the oven. Once cooked, the meat easily falls off the bone and can be enjoyed in soups, stews, or alongside braised greens and cornbread. Whether as a centerpiece or a flavor enhancer, our pasture-raised ham hocks bring depth and richness to any dish.
