Pasture-Raised Ham Hocks (1 lb)

Smoky, savory, and made for slow cooking.

This is the cut that turns a pot of something simple into something you can’t stop going back to. Rich with collagen, kissed with smoke, and full of deep pork flavor, ham hocks are less about the meat… and more about what they do to everything around them.

What makes it special

This isn’t a throwaway cut. It’s a foundation.

Ham hocks come from the lower leg, which means more connective tissue, more collagen, and more flavor released as it cooks. When simmered low and slow, it breaks down into something silky, savory, and deeply satisfying.

And just like everything from Circle N:

• Pasture-raised pork
• Raised less than an hour from here
• No hormones or antibiotics
• Fed a custom, non-GMO feed made specifically for the farm

It’s clean, honest pork… with real depth you can taste.

How to use it (and where it shines)

This is your secret to “how is this so good?”

Use it:

• Simmered in beans (white beans, black-eyed peas, lentils)
• Added to soups, stews, or brothy greens
• Cooked low and slow with collards or cabbage
• Used to build a rich, smoky base for almost anything

As it cooks, it releases flavor into the entire dish… and the meat that pulls off at the end is just a bonus.

From the farm

Sourced through Neu Cattle Co. (the next generation) and raised by Circle N, a 3rd-generation family farm that’s been doing things right since 1947.

They grow their own crops, avoid pesticides, and take a slower, more intentional approach to everything they do. It’s not the fastest way, but it’s the right one.

These ham hocks are a perfect example: humble, powerful, and the kind of ingredient that makes everything around it better.
