Berkshire Boneless Pork Chop - 2 Pack. IN-STORE PICK UP ONLY The tenderness and flavor of Berkshire Pork is truly outstanding. This heritage breed was raised for its quality, juiciness and marbling. Our Berkshire Pork comes from Iowa farmers. As with as with all our pork chops, this is a natural product and may be some variation in size. We specify approximately 12 oz. each (24 oz total) for this unique chop.
Berkshire Pork
Berkshire pigs have a higher concentration of fat than some other breeds, which was highly desirable when lard was used for a variety of purposes. Over the years, though, consumers began to prefer leaner pork, and fewer Berkshire pigs were raised.
However, a recent resurgence in interest in heritage breeds has led to an increase in the number of Berkshire pigs raised in the United States.
Berkshire pork is sometimes called the “wagyu of pork.” Wagyu beef is known for its marbling and tenderness, and Berkshire pork is also well-respected for those traits. In fact, in Japan (the home of wagyu beef), Berkshire pork is known as Kurobuta pork, and is often sold at a premium.
And the premium seems to be well-deserved! According to tests by the National Pork Board, Berkshire pork places first in nineteen out of twenty traits, including:
- Loin color
- Loin tenderness
- Loin marbling
- Best tasting in all categories
- Superior cooked moisture content
When you purchase Berkshire pork, you may notice that it has a darker color to it. That is because of an increased pH level in the meat, which is associated with more tender, juicy and flavorful pork.
So if you are looking for a flavorful, tender, marbled cut of pork, Berkshire is a good fit for you.
Old Station Craft Meats began as an idea for two brothers to connect their shared passion for cooking and eating meat with their occupational interests.
One brother, a cattleman, and the other, a businessman, decided to combine their passions and skillsets into a specialty meat market, located in Waukee, Iowa.
Regardless the topic, the best place to start a conversation is around a table for a meal.

I made lightly fried French Cut Pork Chops with Garlic Butter on top. They were so good. I don’t want to try any other cut of pork now. For a side dish we had sweet potatoes and salad.

LOVE LOCAL! We try to get to OSCM often. Our selections last week were a chuck roast that made phenomenal French Dip sandwiches and the breakfast sausage that I used for Scotch Eggs! Customer service is wonderful.
P.S. I love the packaging used in freezer items! It allows for a quick thaw!

Stopped in for the first time just looking for a few things for the weekend. Left with a dry aged wagyu, picanha(which I couldn’t be more exited to find a local place making this cut) and sage sausage. The wagyu was incredible and really made for a great New Years dinner. The picanha is in the fridge seasoned for tomorrow and the sausage is ready for biscuits and gravy. Thank you again for the amazing customer service. I will be making this a weekly stop.

Stopped in this morning for the first time. Beautiful place, very welcoming and helpful staff. They had samples of their in-house made summer sausage and it was awesome. Great selection of meats. Talked to one of the guys behind the meat counter and found out they get Lamb once a month - that’s a huge plus +++. This is a very much needed butcher shop in Des Moines / Waukee.

Stopped in the store for my first time this week. Great selection of products. I had a great conversation with Nick. I mentioned I like to do a lot of smoking with my smoker and he recommended I try this Chuck Flap piece of meat and report back to him. It turned out great. Basically like cooking a brisket, but in half the time. Roughly 6.5 hours from start to finish at 225 degrees. Everyone loved it! I’ll definitely be back. Thanks.

Bought some Picanha, Berkshire Pork, Breakfast Sausage and Bacon today. What a gem to have in the area. Fantastic cuts of beef and pork - great service - reasonable pricing. What else could one ask??? AWESOME !!! EDIT: Picanha was phenomenal. Served with roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Fresh Mozzarella Tomato Salad. Smoked at 180 for 45 minutes and seared on screaming hot Cast Iron to IT of 125 or so.
