From one farm,
the way it used to be.

We're the Hendersons. We've raised pigs and cattle on 120 acres in southern Ohio for three generations.

In 2016, we noticed the "lard" and "tallow" in stores was hydrogenated, bleached, and deodorized — stripped of everything that made it food. So we started rendering our own, the old way: low heat, no chemicals, no shortcuts.

Today we produce about 800 jars a month, each one filled, labeled, and packed by hand. When you buy from us, you're buying from the actual people who raised the animal.

Don't Take Our Word For It

"I've been baking sourdough for a decade, and this lard produces the flakiest, most tender crust I've ever made. I literally can't go back to anything else."

Maya Kowalski

Head Baker, Hearth & Home

"As a chef I'm picky about my fat. This tallow has a clean, beefy flavor with a 400°F smoke point. It's now the only tallow on my line."

James Thompson

Executive Chef, The Copper Pot

"I feed my family these fats. Knowing exactly where it comes from, and that the animals lived a real life, matters. The quality is a bonus."

03

Triple-Filtered

We pass every batch through a fine-mesh strainer three separate times to remove any sediment. Silky smooth, every jar.

Each jar is filled, labeled, and wrapped by hand, then shipped to your door within 48 hours. Free shipping, always.

Questions, Answered

The stuff you want to know before you buy.

Tallow and lard are shelf-stable. Store them in a cool, dark cabinet for up to 6 months. For longer storage, pop them in the fridge — they'll last over a year. Duck fat should be refrigerated and used within 6 months.

Our grass-fed tallow has the highest smoke point of any natural fat at 400°F — perfect for high-heat searing and frying. Heritage lard comes in at 370°F, ideal for roasting and baking. Duck fat is best at 375°F.

We currently ship across the U.S. and Canada. Shipping to Canada is a flat $15. We're working on EU distributors — join our email list and we'll let you know when that's live.
