Pork Rub and a Crock Pot Pork Shoulder

This pork is a crowd favorite that I often bring to potlucks. It can be added to anything, including a sandwich or salad.  It also freezes well so you can make it into individual portions.

I recommend only using pasture raised pork. Pigs don’t sweat. If pigs from birth are able to put their noses into the dirt and ground, they will have a proper biome. If pigs have the proper biome, they are better able to eliminate toxins that they’re bodies are exposed to. Additionally, properly raised pigs, as opposed to those raised in barns on cement standing in their own waste, will of course be exposed to fewer toxins. All of this means a nutrient dense food that you can enjoy!

Using two forks, try to shred the pork shoulder. If the pork does not shred easily, it is not done yet!

Once you know it is done cooking, allow it to cool completely before shredding with two forks. This will make it much easier to shred.

Serve and enjoy!
