At Five Marys, we exclusively offer Uncured Bacon (which hasn’t been treated with Sodium Nitrate) cut from the belly and side of the pig. Our Bacon is hickory smoked, fatty, and flavorful. It will be a delicious addition to any breakfast meal, BLT, or other recipe.

Bacon Ends are the pieces left after a bacon slab is cut into the traditional strips that you’re used to. They pack a powerful flavor because they consist of the surface which was in contact with the spices and brown sugar during the smoking process. Bacon Ends are cut into small cubes and chunks—perfect for putting on a salad, filling tacos, or adding to soup recipes.
BACON ENDS
Pork Belly is uncured, un-smoked, and un-sliced bacon. Don’t let its name confuse you, the Pork Belly is cut from the meat on a pig’s side, not the stomach. Like sliced bacon, it has juicy fat layers which offer amazing flavor. You can oven-roast it, fry it, or use it to make your own bacon.
PORK BELLY
The Boston Butt (sometimes called Pork Butt) is another name for the Pork Shoulder Roast. It is a bone-in pork roast with a juicy, rich flavor. This roast is perfect for slow-cooking, smoking, and especially pulled pork recipes.

Pork Jowl Bacon is cut from the cheek of a pig. In Southern states, it is known as Hog Jowl. It is less fatty than traditional bacon cut from the pork belly. Jowl Bacon is generally smaller than pork belly bacon and therefore is good for adding to salads, casseroles, or as a side on breakfast dishes.

Like pork belly bacon ends, Jowl Bacon Ends are the excess pieces left after Jowl Bacon is cut from the bacon slab of the jowl. Because they are small pieces, they are pre-cut for a flavorful addition to any side dish.
JOWL BACON ENDS
Fresh Jowl consists of the entire Pork Jowl, un-cured and un-sliced. This is great for smoking, slicing for sandwiches, or preparing your own Jowl Bacon.

The Pork Leg is traditionally where ham comes from, which is a cured, aged, and often smoked full leg. At Five Marys, we cut the Pork Leg Roast into 2-inch thick, uncured steaks which we call Pork Leg Steaks. This size is great for the slow cooker and pulled pork, or it can be fried and sliced for sandwiches and other recipes.

Pork Chops can be cut from the Loin, Ribs, and Sirloin cuts on a pig. Pork Loin Chops are bone-in and less fatty, but still unbelievably delicious and juicy. Like a T-Bone steak on a cow, these Pork Loin Chops bear the signature T-shaped bone. It is recommended to cook them quickly, using high heat methods like grilling and pan-searing.

The Pork Picnic Roast (or Pork Arm / Shoulder Roast), like our other pork roasts, is a bone-in cut. It’s great for slow cooking, smoking, braising, and pulled pork recipes.

At Five Marys, we sell full racks of Pork Spare Ribs which come from the lower part of a pig’s rib cage, near the stomach. Spare Ribs should be prepared low and slow for the most juicy and flavorful results—don’t forget to brush on your favorite BBQ sauce!

Pork Sirloin Roasts are leaner than other pork roasts, but still boast a delicious flavor. They should be slow-cooked for the greatest flavor.
PORK SIRLOIN ROAST
Pork Sirloin Chops, like our other Pork Chops, are bone-in. They are flavorful and juicy, but best when brined beforehand and cooked quickly on high heat.

The Pork Tenderloin is the leanest and most tender cut on a pig. It is boneless, long, and cylindrical. Pork Tenderloin is best prepared with a brine or marinade, and should be quickly roasted, broiled, grilled, or sautéed.

The Ground Pork doesn’t come from just one place on the pig. It is commonly taken from trimmings and less tender cuts, but at Five Marys we take pride in ensuring our Ground Pork is ground from more desirable cuts of the pig, too! Our Ground Pork is made from trimmings from the entire animal, whether that be the Neck or the prized Tenderloin cuts. A diversity in cuts ensures the greatest flavor and quality of our Ground Pork. Our Ground Pork, as well as our Breakfast Sausage and Italian Sausage is great for a variety of recipes or as a substitute for Ground Beef.
