Our Farms & Suppliers

Our organic pork comes from two partner pig farms, one here in Devon and one in Gloucestershire. Their pigs are outdoors bred and reared, and they spend their whole lives outside the way they should. They come from a British Landrace cross Duroc sow, giving lean meat with defined contrast in the joints so that, we can do everything from our famous Roam & Relish bacon from the flavour-rich belly to a pull-apart, slow-cooked shoulder joint. The pigs are free to roam, wander, and forage as much as they please and are given organic feed to get those vital vitamins and minerals they can’t find from the ground. In the summer they wallow in cool mud baths and in the winter, they can snuggle up in deep beds of fresh straw. Unlike intensive farms, their tails and teeth are left unharmed. Animal welfare is at the heart of everything we stand for and these pigs lead a natural and happy life. Every cut is hand-finished,, cooked with carefully selected cures, and butchered using traditional methods. From bacon to slow-roasting joints, chops, and sausages, we’re proud of our organic pork.

BBQ Pork Rack of Ribs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 full rack of pork ribs (about 2-3 lbs)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp paprika
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp chili powder (optional for heat)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (for spritzing)
• 1/4 cup water (for spritzing)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ribs:

• Remove the membrane: Flip the ribs over to the bone side and gently slide a knife under the membrane (the thin, silver skin) to loosen it. Once you have a corner up, use a paper towel to grip it and pull it off in one motion. This step helps the ribs absorb flavor and become more tender.

2. Season the Ribs:

• Make the dry rub: In a small bowl, mix together paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, chili powder, salt, and cayenne (if using).
• Rub the ribs: Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the rack of ribs, then generously rub the spice mixture all over, pressing it into the meat.

3. Preheat the Grill or Smoker:

• Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C) for low and slow cooking. If using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect cooking, where the heat source is on one side, and the ribs are on the other.

4. Smoke or Grill the Ribs:

• Place the ribs on the grill: Position the ribs bone-side down on the cooler side of the grill or smoker. Close the lid and let them cook low and slow for 3 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the rack.
• Spritz the ribs: Every 45 minutes to an hour, spritz the ribs with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water to keep them moist and help form a beautiful bark (crust).

5. Baste with BBQ Sauce:

• In the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce. Let them cook for another 15 minutes, then brush again for a sticky, caramelized finish.

6. Rest the Ribs:

• Once the ribs have cooked and the meat is tender enough to pull away from the bones, remove them from the grill. Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to settle.

7. Slice and Serve:

• Slice between the bones to portion the ribs, and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy them with classic sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or baked beans for the ultimate BBQ feast!

8.  Enjoy: These BBQ ribs are smoky, tender, and loaded with flavor. Perfect for a backyard cookout or a hearty dinner, they’re bound to make any meal feel special. Enjoy the juicy, saucy goodness!
