When braised, this piece of meat is so tender it falls off the bone and melts in your mouth! Our pork shanks come from our 100% woodland-raised, soy and corn-free hogs. This inexpensive cut is often overlooked because it can be tough, but braise it low and slow, and it's amazing!

Our pork shanks come frozen and vacuum-sealed to maintain freshness. For best use, store in the freezer for up to 1 year, or in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
You can slow thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Or quick thaw in a bowl of cold water, changing the water every 20-30 minutes until thawed.

When you're braising, you can use pretty much any liquid you have lying around; white or red wine, vinegar, vermouth, beer, stock, or even water will do the trick!
The first step to making a tasty braised shank is to brown the meat. It doesn't matter what flavors you add, searing the meat first will make the dish so much better!
Those little browned bits that stick to the pan are flavor bombs, adding a rich, deep flavor to the braising liquid and making the final dish super tasty.
