BUTCHER'S CUTS

We've tried to lay out the cuts that we offer, and some great "infographics" that help describe where the cuts come from. Once you've found a cut you'd like to try, check out the recipe pages above for a great corresponding dish!

PORK

Believe it or not - Pigs are not all chops! Pastured Pork is a favorite here at Tara Firma Farms because of how versatile and affordable it is. Have a fancy dinner? Break out the Tenderloin. Grilling before the big game? Grab the Sausages. A busy day ahead? Load up the slow cooker.
