This barbecue favorite will turn out great every time. We remove the inside membrane to keep the meat as tender as possible. Combined with its great flavor, this makes the best of our rib cuts better.

All the farms are diversified farming operations growing gardens and raising crops, cattle, chickens, and pigs. Our farmers pride themselves as being stewards of their animals and their land. By bringing together the best genetics, the best nutrition,the cleanest environment, and the most humane treatment of our pigs, the result is natural pork with unsurpassed quality. Our pigs are specifically selected to yield the juiciest and most flavorful pork available. On our farms, pigs enjoy a healthy and nutritious diet. They are never, ever fed antibiotics or “hormone like” growth promotants, such as ractopamine. Our genetically superior pigs are strong and healthy and they do not need any help growing and thriving. They are only fed high quality feed from the time they are born and are nished on wheat and barley. Wheat and barley are readily available in the west and home grown on many of our farms. All farmers are Pork Quality Assurance Plus (PQA Plus) trained, site certified, and practice the program daily on their farms. PQA Plus is comprised of two main elements - food safety and animal well-being. Animal well-being encompasses farmer responsibilities for all aspects of animal care, including proper housing, management, nutrition, disease prevention and treatment, and humane handling. Sustainability is our goal! Our farmers work cooperatively with the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Every year our farmers are required to receive continuing education in meat quality, animal welfare, bio-security, nutrition and good management practices. They also get the opportunity to meet many of our customers and learn about your needs and expectations.

Lean, Bold, Flavorful, Savory
Looking for a great beef alternative? Don't hide your head in the sand when it comes to Ostrich. Ostrich is a phenomenal "Red Meat". It offers a lean alternative to beef and has a close resemblance in appearance and flavor. Ostrich does, however, have a depth of flavor that surpasses those resemblances. Ostrich has become a very popular protein in the United States and is welcomed to those cutting down on richer meats. It shares a lean quality found in other birds, but blows them away in heartiness. Ostrich holds a multitude of applications. From rare grilled filet to smoked sirloin, the Ostrich is a bird that is more than just the word. Put a big bird on the board and your guests will be impressed.
Hot legs are a desirable attribute for many-a species and well-bred swine are no exception. Herb and Kathy Eckhouse take fully aged legs of Prosciutto Americano and rub them down with a balanced blend of fennel, sea salt, and red chilies that deepens the meat's earthy sweetness. The heat is subtle, and deserves to be paired with one-of-a-kind cheeses, like Mahon Curado and Zimbro. These sheep milk cheeses have extra edge that creates some complexity on the palate, especially when given a boost by the meat's chili spice. It's an ideal tapas meat to include on a spread with marcona almonds, sheep cheeses, and grilled sardines. A combination of traditional craftsmanship and regional flavor, this addition to La Quercia's line of dry cured meats exemplifies their motto: 'American made, American inspired cured meats.' We say: keep those hot legs coming our way!
