Perfect for low and slow cooking, pork roasts are ideal for braising, roasting, or slow-cooking in your favorite sauce.

Whether you're planning a Sunday family dinner or looking to serve up a crowd-pleasing BBQ feast, pork roasts and pork barbecue offer versatility and great flavor. The slow-cooked nature of these cuts allows the flavors to develop fully, creating a rich, satisfying meal that’s sure to be enjoyed by everyone at the table.

Fun Facts About Pork Roasts & Pork Barbecue:

  • Pork roast is often made from cuts like pork shoulder, pork loin, or pork butt, all of which become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.

  • Pork barbecue is a southern favorite, where pork is typically slow-cooked and basted in barbecue sauce to achieve a smoky, tender result.

  • A pork roast can easily feed a large group, making it ideal for holiday meals, family dinners, and weekend cookouts.

  • Pork is often paired with a variety of sauces, from vinegar-based to sweet and tangy barbecue sauces, depending on regional preferences.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Protein: Both pork roasts and pork barbecue are rich in high-quality protein, essential for muscle building and body repair.

  • B Vitamins: Packed with B6 and B12, pork supports your metabolism and overall energy production.

  • Iron & Zinc: These cuts are a great source of iron, which helps deliver oxygen throughout your body, and zinc, which is vital for immune function.

Cooking Tips:

  • Slow-cook for tenderness: The key to a tender pork roast or pulled pork is low and slow cooking. Braise, roast, or slow-cook for several hours at low temperatures to break down the fat and make the meat fall-apart tender.

  • Marinate for flavor: Before roasting or slow cooking, marinate your pork roast in your favorite herbs, spices, or sauces for a deep, flavorful crust.

  • Barbecue or Smoke for That Perfect Taste: For pork barbecue, slow-cook the meat on a grill or smoker with wood chips to infuse the meat with a rich, smoky flavor.

  • Rest after cooking: Allow your pork roast to rest after cooking for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps redistribute the juices and keep the meat moist.

Cooking Temperatures:

  • Pork roasts should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), and then allowed to rest for 3 minutes before serving.

  • Pulled pork should be cooked to 190°F (88°C) for that perfect, tender texture that shreds easily.

Over the Moon Reviews

Le saucisson sec is my favorite thing to eat paired with cornichon with a glass of wine for aperitif. Thank you for the great product!

Get the salami. It will be your new breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

First time ordering. We brined the two turkey breasts and served them up for Thanksgiving dinner. They were awesome and everyone loved them. Tender and great size for our family of eaters! Can’t wait to try th chicken legs!

Anna, thank you so much for my order! To think I ordered my items last night and they got here today is incredible. I LOVE your products and all your hard work is so appreciated!

The pork is the best! Since moving to Iowa I don’t think I have ever had better meat in my life. Love to support over the moon!

Anna and Shae raise their animals with so much care and you can taste the difference in the meat. We made braised turkey legs with cranberry, star anise and sweet potatoes and it was delicious!

For the past 3 years, we have purchased our meat almost exclusively from Over the Moon Farm and Flowers. From our first 'whole hog' 3 years ago to the recent delivery of pork, chicken, duck, turkey, and lamb, the flavor and consistent quality of the cuts is second to none. The variety offered has expanded our menu and challenged us to try new cuts and new recipes - New Year's Eve roast duck will certainly be a new tradition. They make it easy to order on their website and then deliver right to our door! Give them a try - you will not be sorry. #knowyourfarmer!

We ordered a pasture raised turkey for Thanksgiving in 2021. This was the highest quality meet we have ever cooked. The turkey turned out juice and had such nice flavor. Getting the updates on the turkey's growth was also such a nice, human feeling touch. We will not get our turkey anywhere else. They also have a meat delivery program, it is a MUST try.

Superb meats, absolutely some of the best chicken, beef and pork in Iowa. Lean, deeply flavorful, delivered to your door by the nicest pair of local ranchers. I can’t recommend Anna and Shae and their meats highly enough.

Their pork is out of this world! Absolutely A+. Hard to stop eating:). Fully recommend.
