4505 Meats was founded by chef and butcher, Ryan Farr, in 2009. Ryan began frying up pork rinds in his kitchen in response to waste he saw breaking down whole animals in restaurant kitchens. Ryan’s culinary knowledge and passion for whole animal utilization took on many permeations over the years, growing into farmers market stands, a butcher shop, and our flagship restaurant. Ryan also published two books, Whole Beast Butchery and Sausage Making, dedicated to sharing his craft with home cooks.
4505 Meats All Natural Pork Rinds
Humanely Raised
We partner with a cooperative of small family farms that raise their hogs humanely in low-stress environments and are committed to sustainable farming practices. Routine third party audits are performed to ensure all aspects of transportation, receiving, and harvesting of the animals meet animal welfare standards and that a low-stress environment is maintained.
Animals spend equal time indoor and outdoor and have access to pasture
Animals are never confined or kept in gestation crates
When inside, animals have deep straw bedding and no slat-flooring
Animals are fed a mixture of corn, soy, and minerals
Feed never contains animal by-products or additives that mimic hormones
Our cracklins are made from the pig's shoulder skin resulting in a crunchier and denser pork rind. We leave the fat attached before frying so each bite is a play of crispy and fatty textures. Crunchy, dense, and frosted with luscious porky fat, these are pork rinds for the true pork rind lover; the richer, porkier pork rind. Our snacks are simply seasoned with the finest spices available and nothing more so you can taste the care and quality of better meat and enjoy snacks that won't weigh you down.
Our cracklins are made from skin from the pig's shoulder and still have the fat attached. They pack a serious crunch along with almost frosting-like layers of fat, so each bag is a play of textures – resulting in very crunchy texture with dense layers of soft, rich fat
Our Green Chili & Lime cracklins contrast the high-fat content of the cracklin and make it easy to eat the whole bag. Some might say these are the best spicy, crunchy Keto snacks!
