Spoiler alert: Pork Butt does not come from anywhere near the butt of the pig. The butt is actually the top half of the shoulder. Because our hogs are raised in the woods with plenty or room to roam and root, this hard working muscle develops a deeper flavor and pink hue unlike anything you can find in the grocery store. Braise or smoke your Half Pork Butt to achieve pulled pork nirvana.
