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,

Pork brisket is a rich, flavorful cut that is perfect for slow cooking, braising, or smoking. Taken from the lower chest of the pig, this cut is known for its marbling and ability to transform into a melt-in-your-mouth delicacy when cooked low and slow. Whether you’re preparing pulled pork brisket, a smoked brisket feast, or a hearty braise, pork brisket is an ideal choice for anyone looking to serve up a juicy, tender, and full-flavored meal.

This cut of pork excels when cooked slowly, allowing the fat to render and the meat to absorb the deep flavors of marinades or dry rubs. Pork brisket is perfect for family gatherings, barbecues, or meal prepping, offering plenty of meat for a crowd.

Fun Facts About Pork Brisket:

  • Pork brisket is often compared to beef brisket, but with a slightly milder flavor and more marbling, making it perfect for slow cooking methods like smoking or braising.

  • When smoked or slow-cooked, pork brisket develops a beautiful bark, or crust, on the outside, adding texture and flavor to every bite.

  • Pork brisket is typically used for pulled pork sandwiches or tacos but can also be sliced and served as a main dish with your favorite sides.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Protein: A great source of high-quality protein, pork brisket helps support muscle growth, repair, and overall health.

  • B Vitamins: Rich in B6 and B12, which are important for energy production and nervous system function.

  • Iron & Zinc: Contains iron, essential for healthy red blood cells, and zinc, which supports immune function and cell growth.

Cooking Tips:

  • Slow-Cook or Smoke: The best way to cook pork brisket is low and slow. Smoke or braise it at 225-250°F (107-121°C) for several hours until the meat becomes fork-tender and juicy.

  • Marinate for Flavor: Season your pork brisket with a flavorful dry rub or marinade to enhance its taste before cooking. Ingredients like garlic, paprika, brown sugar, and mustard can create a flavorful crust.

  • Rest After Cooking: After cooking, let the pork brisket rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding to lock in juices and keep the meat moist.

Cooking Temperatures:

  • Pork brisket should be cooked to an internal temperature of 190-200°F (88-93°C) for optimal tenderness. This ensures that the fat has rendered properly and the meat is fall-apart tender.
