Ridgetop Acres Pork Picnic Steaks come from our pasture-raised KuneKune × American Guinea Hog cross—heritage genetics known for producing deeply colored, richly marbled pork with a naturally bold, beef-like texture and color. These slow-grown hogs forage on pasture year-round, developing exceptional texture and a hearty depth of taste that sets our pork far apart from anything found in the grocery store.
Picnic Steaks are cut from the shoulder, offering a perfect balance of lean muscle and flavorful fat. This makes them ideal for grilling, pan-searing, braising, or marinating. They stay tender and juicy while delivering a robust, savory bite that holds up beautifully to bold rubs or simple salt-and-pepper cooking.
Customers are often surprised by the dark red color and steak-like appearance of these cuts—an unmistakable sign of healthy, slow-matured heritage pork. The result is a versatile, full-flavored steak that performs well in both quick-cook and low-and-slow preparations.
Raised with humane, regenerative practices, our hogs produce pork that reflects the care and intention behind every step of our process. If you’re looking for a shoulder cut with exceptional character, rich marbling, and unforgettable flavor, Ridgetop Acres Pork Picnic Steaks deliver every time.
