Our Picnic Roast comes from the lower shoulder of the hog, known for its rich marbling and deep flavor. This cut shines when slow-cooked — whether roasted in the oven, smoked on the grill, or simmered in a crockpot until it falls apart. This bone-in cut has a deeper, more robust flavor than the Boston butt and becomes incredibly tender when cooked low and slow. Great for pulled pork, carnitas, or a classic Sunday roast.
