Looking to master your grandma's fried chicken recipe? Or maybe you want an excellent cooking oil that is a source of healthy fats and high in Vitamin E and D. Our pasture raised lard is what you need! It is the perfect option for frying and cooking.
Lard is made from the back fat and other odd bits of fat from the hog and is well suited for general frying, sautéing, rolls, tortillas and any other item that calls for lard or shortening. You can swap lard for shortening in any recipe and you’ll be delighted with the results.
We offer ready to use lard and leaf lard in 1 pint tubs that weigh about 14 oz each. The raw fat comes exclusively from our pasture raised Berkshire/Duroc hogs. This is old fashioned lard which means it is non-hydrogenated and has no added stabilizers. There is nothing in there but the pure, rendered lard. Our lard should be refrigerated or frozen for best quality. It will last for many months in the fridge and up to a year or more in the freezer.
Pasture raised pork lard replaces Crisco, vegetable, and Canola oils which contain harmful trans fats.
Note: This lard is made in a non-certified kitchen.
Honeysuckle Farm pigs were born and raised on our farm in Morris, Illinois. They are fed a diet of locally grown non-GMO feed and free-range pasture forage.
Our smoked products contain no chemical nitrates or nitrites. Seasoned products are seasoned with certified organic seasonings.
