Pork

I spent 13 years working for farmers and sharing how to keep pork tender and juicy while it’s cooking, so we’ve got great tips on how to make the best pork chops in the Oven or on the Grill.

Sausage is easy to prepare and always a crowd favorite.  Our Cheesy Potato Casserole with Smoked Sausage and Farmhouse Sausage Bake are super popular on Pinterest.  And Sausage, Potatoes and Green Beans is just a classic farmhouse recipe that everyone will eat.

My husband is proud of his German heritage and will ask for Sausage and Sauerkraut in the Instant Pot or Air Fryer regularly.

Pulled Pork is always in our freezer because it goes so great on Crescent Rolls, a Loaded Potato Bar or Nachos.

We’re proud that both sides of our family raise pork.  Our son even raises a couple of pigs each year in 4-H.  When you buy pork in any grocery store you are supporting farm families like ours all over the USA!
