If you’ve ever tried to look up the smoke point of beef tallow, lard, or duck fat, chances are you’ve seen numbers all over the map. One source says 350°F, another swears it’s 420°F. What in the fat is going on?

Farmer of the Month: Grassroots Coop

Our farmer profile this month is the Grassroots Coop, farmers of pastured beef, forested pork and pastured poultry. Fatworks sources much of our Pasture Raised Pork fat and Pasture Raised Leaf fat from the Grass Roots Coop as they perfect match our mission.
