Yoder Family Farms Duroc Pork - Lone Tree, Iowa

Yoder Family Farms Duroc Pork produced its first pigs in 2018, but the vision for our farm began much earlier than that. When my dad retired from his farrow-to-finish operation in 2008 after 35 years in the business I was determined to raise pigs again. From that point forward the planning began and the foundation of the plan was to raise a pig that we would be proud to directly market to our family, friends, and neighbors. We want to deliver the highest quality pork to the consumer. To do that we chose the Duroc breed for our farm. Having Duroc pigs allows us to not only produce pigs outside in the ever changing Iowa environments, but also the potential to produce high quality pork through genetic progress. Every animal we raise is the result of careful consideration and decisions with the sole goal of producing tender and tasty pork.

We are proud to share the results of that plan with everyone. Our farm is not only about raising pigs, but producing the highest quality pork that everyone can enjoy. We hope that you enjoy the pork that we raised as we work on building a farm that will supply pork in Eastern Iowa for generations to come.

Thank you,

Chad, Tiffany, Luke, Owen, & Adam

Pork Ribs Near Me

Pork ribs are a fan-favorite for BBQ lovers and home cooks alike, offering a combination of tender, flavorful meat and a deliciously crispy exterior when cooked properly. Whether you prefer spare ribs, baby back ribs, or St. Louis-style ribs, these cuts are perfect for grilling, smoking, or slow-cooking, resulting in tender, fall-off-the-bone goodness with every bite.

Known for their rich flavor, pork ribs are marbled with fat that renders beautifully during cooking, keeping the meat juicy and flavorful. Whether you’re serving up a backyard BBQ or preparing a comforting meal at home, pork ribs are sure to be the highlight of your dinner table.

Fun Facts About Pork Ribs:
  • Pork ribs come in several varieties, including baby back ribs, which are smaller and leaner, and spare ribs, which are larger and meatier.

  • Ribs are traditionally cooked low and slow on the grill or in a smoker, which helps break down the fat and connective tissue, resulting in tender, juicy meat.

  • Pork ribs are often coated in a flavorful dry rub or basted with barbecue sauce to create a rich, caramelized exterior.

  • The rib rack is one of the best cuts for slow-cooking or smoking — giving the ribs a smoky, juicy flavor with a crispy crust.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Protein: Pork ribs are an excellent source of high-quality protein, which supports muscle growth and repair, along with overall body health.

  • B Vitamins: Rich in B6 and B12, pork ribs help your body convert food into energy and support the production of red blood cells.

  • Iron & Zinc: Pork ribs are packed with iron, which helps transport oxygen throughout your body, and zinc, which plays a role in supporting your immune system.

Cooking Tips:

  • Slow-Cook for Tenderness: Pork ribs are best cooked at low temperatures for long periods, whether that’s on the grill, in the oven, or in a smoker. Slow-cooking helps break down the fat and connective tissue, resulting in tender, juicy meat.

  • Grill or Smoke for Flavor: For the best flavor, cook pork ribs on a grill or smoker. Use wood chips for smoking to infuse a smoky flavor into the meat, and finish with a barbecue sauce for a sweet, tangy glaze.

  • Cook with the Bone-in: Always cook pork ribs with the bone-in to maximize flavor. The bones not only enhance the taste but help keep the meat tender and juicy during cooking.

  • Wrap in Foil for Extra Moisture: If cooking in the oven, wrap pork ribs in foil and bake them at 275°F (135°C) for 2-3 hours, then finish by unwrapping and grilling or broiling for a crispy exterior.

Cooking Temperatures:

  • Pork ribs should be cooked to an internal temperature of 190-200°F (88-93°C) for that perfect, fall-apart texture.

  • If grilling, aim for 145°F (63°C) for a slightly firmer, meatier rib texture.
