Smoked Ham Hocks – Pair of Two

Perfect for braising, slow-cooking, or adding to soups, stews, and beans, our pasture raised ham hocks release their rich, smoky flavor while the collagen breaks down, creating a velvety broth that enhances the texture and adds an incredible depth of flavor to your recipes. 

Ham hocks (also known as pork knuckles) are cut from the lower portion of the pork leg. Each hock is surrounded by a rich combination of collagen, connective tissue, and tender meat, encased in a thick layer of fat and skin. After a low and slow simmer in your favorite cozy dish, shred some delicious pork off the bone and add it right back in.

Our team at The Meatery expertly butchers, seasons, and slow smokes these hocks just like our delicious seasonal hams. 

Whether you’re making a classic ham & potato soup, a Southern-style pot of greens, a comforting pot of beans, or a classic bone broth – our smoked ham hocks will elevate your dishes with their hearty, full-bodied flavor.

1701  Pasture Raised Pork

The saying "pork, the other white meat" (aka pale pink) is non-existent in our vocabulary. Our pork has unmatched flavor, dark red in color and well marbled - the type of pork high-end restaurants are after. We do this by choosing "old world" heritage breeds, and put them in an environment they were designed to be raised in, either on pasture or in the brush where they can forage on grasses, acorns, whatever their snouts find with plenty of room to move in the sunshine, and supplemented with a NON GMO grain. When you raise pigs the way Tanner and I do, you don't have give them growth promoting drugs like sub-therapeutic antibiotics or beta-agonists which are so commonly used today in America (and illegal in many other countries). Drugs and crammed barns are a necessity to keep the price of grocery store pork low (yes meat is a commodity.. isn't that crazy?), and that is what many people want. However at 1701, we believe with all of our heart in providing a choice to those that value flavor, your health, and animal welfare first. – Catherine
