pearl river pastures / pastured pork belly ~3lb

The Pastured Pork Belly from Pearl River Pastures—based in Poplarville, Mississippi—is a rich, fatty, uncured slab cut from heritage breed pigs. Each slab averages approximately 3 to 4.2 lbs.

Compared to conventional pork belly, it is superior because it comes from heritage hogs raised naturally on open pasture and woodland without antibiotics, added hormones, or GMO feeds. Their natural foraging lifestyle yields an ideal balance of deeply flavorful meat and meltingly tender, high-quality fat without relying on artificial injection solutions or water weight.

Highly versatile, it is the perfect base for making and smoking your own custom bacon at home, slow-roasting for crackling skin, or braising low and slow into tender belly dishes. To prepare, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or use a cold-water bath for same-day cooking.
