About Fluffy Butt Farms
We're Chris and Tawney - owners of Fluffy Butt Farms in beautiful Battle Creek Michigan. Our farm was established in 2020, at the high point of the pandemic. Our reason? The shelves at our local grocery store were empty. What was left behind we like to describe as “sad” food. Wilted herbs, bruised produce, seasoned meats and of course a whole lot of processed foods, most of which Tawney has problems with.
Before starting the farm Tawney liked to describe herself as a borderline vegetarian. Since starting the farm and raising our own food, we decided to share the fruits of our labors. There is absolutely nothing like fresh farm raised food. We raise our animals in a natural environment, so they get to be animals, we don’t use hormones, we don’t inject the meat with anything. We went from world travelers to growing and raising food for our family and the community in the blink of an eye, and we're excited to be sharing our high quality products with you!

Types of Pork Chops
When at the grocery or your local butcher shop you may come across a variety of different types of pork chops, here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind in helping you distinguish the differences between each one.
Pork Chops are one of the most popular cups of pork, all being cut from a portion of the loin which is the portion of meat that extends from the hip to the shoulder of the pig.
PorterHouse Chop:
The PorterHouse Chops are cut from the lower back just behind the rib chop. You will recognize this cut by its characteristic t-bone shape. These are large chops that contain a lot of meat as well as a portion of the tenderloin.
T-Bone Chop:
The T-bone Chop is the same as the porterhouse chop with the addition that any portion of the tenderloin shall be exposed on at least one side of the chop.
Ribeye Chop:
The Ribeye Chop is derived from the rib portion of the bone-in center cut rib and includes some back and rib bone. The ribeye chop can come frenched meaning that all the meat around the rib bone has been removed.
New York Chop/ Center Cut Pork Chop:
The New York or Center Cut pork chops are boneless and are located right above the loin chop, toward the head. Typically you will see this chop cut at 1 ¼ inch thick.
Blade Chop:
The Blade Chops are cut from the beginning of the loin or shoulder area and may contain some blade bone as well as the back rib bone. These chops are typically cut thicker, tend to be more marbled and are most commonly prepared butterflied or as pork loin country style ribs.
