Why It's Different
Most "pasture-raised" pork still eats corn and soy. Ours don't.

Quantity
This is ham done right — pasture-raised, bone-in, sugar-free, and naturally smoked to perfection. No shortcuts, no synthetic preservatives, no added junk.
The bone-in cut is a classic for a reason. It delivers deep flavor, a beautiful presentation, and a meaty bone you can use later for soups or broths. Each ham is slow-smoked and left unsliced, giving you full control over how you carve and serve it.
Ingredients:
Pasture-raised pork, sea salt, natural flavors from citrus fruit extracts, dried vinegar.
No nitrates or nitrites added except those naturally occurring in sea salt.
Sourced From:
Our pork comes from Clear Creek Farm in Spalding, Nebraska, where hogs are raised outdoors on pasture, never confined, never given vaccines, antibiotics or hormones. Their diet includes local and seasonal fruits, nuts, vegetables, and certified organic, soy- and GMO-free grains.
This is real pork, raised the right way: flavorful, clean, and worthy of your holiday table.
All orders ship frozen with dry ice and insulated packaging to arrive in perfect condition. We ship Monday–Wednesday to avoid weekend delays. Orders placed after Wednesday will ship the following week.
Our pork meets a standard that less than 1% of US pigs ever see. 100% pasture-raised on rotating fresh ground. Corn-free, soy-free, vaccine free.
Completely antibiotic-free and hormone-free. Raised without confinement, concrete, or compromise. We've held this standard since 2012 and we're not changing it.
As a PA, I started Primal Pastures because I couldn't find meat I trusted for my own family. This is it, raised the way I was looking for all those years ago

01
Raised on Pasture.
Our pigs come from Clear Creek Organic Farm in Nebraska — a 1,300-acre family farm where sows and piglets roam 7 to 10 acres of heavily wooded paddocks and open pasture. They forage, root, and live the way pigs are built to live. This isn't "access to the outdoors." It's actual pasture.
Primal: 7-10 acres per group, wooded paddocks, active foraging
Conventional: confinement barns, overcrowded pens, no real outdoor access
02
No Corn. No Soy.
Clear Creek is also a working dairy farm, producing raw cheese from Jersey cows. The whey left over from cheesemaking, nutrient-rich and naturally probiotic, becomes feed for the pigs, alongside oats and peas grown on the property without chemicals or GMOs. The result is better digestion, better muscle development, and the kind of intermuscular marbling that shows up on the plate.
Primal: whey, oats, and peas — all grown on-farm, chemical-free
Conventional: corn and soy feed, often GMO, no farm-to-feed transparency
03
No Vaccines, No Antibiotics.
Bob runs his farm like an artisan, and that means healthy animals raised in healthy environments, not managed with pharmaceuticals. Our pork is vaccine-free, antibiotic-free, and raised without growth hormones. When pigs have real pasture, clean feed, and room to live the way pigs are built to live, they don't need routine interventions.
Primal: vaccine-free, no antibiotics, no growth hormones
Conventional: routine vaccinations and antibiotics to manage confinement conditions

From our kitchen
Chef Austin's Orange Honey Glaze
Whenever we bake a ham, this is the glaze we reach for. Dijon, our raw wildflower honey, fresh orange, and a little clove and cinnamon simmer down into a sticky, bright glaze that works its way into every scored edge. It's always the first thing people ask about at the table.
What goes in the glaze
- 4 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 6 oz raw wildflower honey
- 1 navel orange, juiced and zested
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
How Austin makes it
- Whisk the glaze ingredients in a sauce pot and simmer over medium heat, stirring often, for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
- Heat the oven to 325°. Score the ham in diamonds about ¼ to ½ inch deep, then set it on a rack in a roasting pan with a couple cups of water in the bottom.
- Brush on about half the glaze, wrap the ham tightly in foil, and bake covered for about an hour.
- Open the foil, raise the oven to 400°, glaze it all over again, and bake uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, until it reads 140° near the bone.
- Let it rest a few minutes before slicing.
We love it with mashed potatoes and roasted sage farm vegetables.

Corn Free, Soy Free, Vaccine Free
Pasture-Raised in the USA
Clear Creek Organic Farm sits three hours west of Omaha, a 1,300-acre operation that looks nothing like the conventional corn and soy fields surrounding it. Farmer Bob and his family raise pigs on real pasture, 7 to 10 acres at a time, feeding them whey from their own on-farm dairy, oats and peas grown without chemicals or GMOs.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Whey, oats, and peas, all grown on the farm without chemicals or GMOs. Clear Creek is also a working dairy operation, and the whey left over from making raw cheese becomes a key part of the pigs' diet. It promotes better digestion, muscle development, and the kind of marbling that makes the flavor exceptional. No corn, no soy, ever.
-
It means the pigs have real access to the outdoors — room to root, forage, and behave like pigs. They're not confined to crates or concrete. Pasture-raised pigs spend their days on open land, which changes what they eat, how they develop, and ultimately what ends up on your plate.
-
No antibiotics, no added hormones. Ever. Our farming partners raise pigs the way animals are meant to be raised, in low-stress environments with space to move. Healthy animals don't need routine antibiotics to survive.
-
Our pigs are never vaccinated. Pigs who live in crowded crates and pens are more prone to diseases because of the conditions. Our hogs are raised outdoor on pasture, where that isn't an issue.
-
Yes. Our pigs are raised without corn or soy, two of the most common (and most problematic) ingredients in conventional pork feed. Their diet is built around pasture foraging and a clean feed program, which means the fat profile of the meat is fundamentally different from what you'll find at the grocery store.
-
All of our pork comes from Clear Creek Organic Farm in Clear Creek, Nebraska. We've been working with Farmer Bob for over 6 years.
