These carnitas are the real deal, slow-cooked in our own low PUFA lard (pork confit) for that authentic, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The result is a juicy and tender dish with crispy edges, delivering a deep, savory flavor that can only come from cooking meat in fat—a traditional, time-honored cooking method.
What makes our carnitas truly exceptional? Our pigs are pasture-raised and fed a custom, corn- and soy-free, low-PUFA feed, ensuring pork rich in healthy, metabolism-supporting saturated fats and lower in unstable polyunsaturated fats. The flavor is unparalleled, and our pork supports your metabolic health.
Enjoy this authentic, delicious meal with the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly where your food comes from.
How to Prepare:
- Thaw: Simply thaw the carnitas and drain any excess liquid.
- Crisp Up: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the carnitas, flipping like bacon, until golden and crispy on all sides.
Meal Ideas:
- Tacos: Pile the crispy carnitas into soft corn tortillas with your favorite toppings like salsa, cilantro, lime, and avocado.
- Rice Bowls: Serve over a bed of rice with beans, veggies, and a dollop of sour cream or guacamole for a quick and flavorful meal.
- Pulled Pork Sandwiches: Pile the carnitas onto a bun with tangy coleslaw and pickles for a satisfying sandwich.
- Leftovers: The carnitas are perfect for making quick nachos, burrito bowls, or even adding to a frittata or omelette the next day.

Low in PUFAs, Custom-Feed
Modern pork contains significantly higher levels of PUFAs than it did in the past, with conventional pork now containing the same amount of PUFAs as canola oil—definitely not ideal! This shift is largely driven by changes in the pig’s diet, specifically the mass production of corn, soy, and other PUFA-rich ingredients used in conventional feed. While pasture-raised pigs may have access to more natural grazing, they still require supplemental feed, which is often rich in PUFAs. As a result, even pasture-raised pork can still have elevated levels of omega-6 fatty acids, as the pigs’ diet directly influences the fat composition of their meat.
At Nourish, we’ve taken a different approach. We’ve developed a custom-made low-PUFA, nutrient-dense feed for our pigs, ensuring their meat is rich in metabolism-supporting fats and lower in inflammatory PUFAs. Our focus on better feed practices leads to healthier pigs and better food for you, with lab testing to back it up. Simply put, the better we feed our animals, the better the food you get.
Mobile Pasture-Raised for Optimal Nutrition
Pigs raised on pasture enjoy a diverse, nutrient-rich diet, which includes not only supplemental feed but also fresh grasses, plants, and insects. This variety enhances their nutrient intake, which is then passed on to you through the meat you consume. In contrast, animals confined to buildings or cages are limited to their supplemental feed, leading to a less varied nutrient profile and, ultimately, a less nutrient-dense product.
At Nourish, we take it a step further with mobile pasture-raised practices, where our pigs are moved to a fresh patch of grass weekly. This ensures they have continuous access to fresh grasses and insects, providing them with a more varied and nutrient-dense diet. Unlike the generic “pasture-raised” label—which often lacks regulation—our mobile system prevents land degradation, preserves vegetation, and avoids the soil issues caused by prolonged animal presence. Regularly rotating the pigs allows the land to recover, supporting pig health, environmental sustainability, and, ultimately, your health.
Healthier Pigs, Free of Pharmaceuticals
Healthy animals don’t need pharmaceutical crutches. Our pigs are raised in optimal conditions—mobile pasture-raised with daily access to fresh grass, clean air, and space to express their natural instincts. Unlike confined pigs that require constant antibiotic interventions due to poor living conditions, our pigs aren’t trapped in their own waste or exposed to airborne toxins. Instead, they breathe fresh air, forage freely, and benefit from nutrient-rich grasses that support their gut and immune health. While pigs can’t survive on grass alone, regular access to fresh pasture provides key nutrients and fiber, promoting overall well-being.
This natural lifestyle eliminates the need for routine antibiotics, vaccines (including mRNA vaccines), hormones, and dewormers. Industrial pigs, crammed into barns or cages, rely on daily antibiotics in their water and an aggressive vaccine schedule just to survive. In contrast, our pasture-raised pigs exercise more, experience less stress, and develop stronger immune systems, resulting in healthier meat with superior nutrient density. By prioritizing regenerative farming, we raise resilient pigs that rarely get sick, avoiding the pharmaceutical dependence of conventional hog production.
