The Pork Shop History

The Pork Shop has been specializing in fresh pork products since it opened in 1979.  At the time Greg Combs, a third generation Arizona farmer, was looking for an alternative marketing source for his swine

operation.  Selling fresh pork directly to the consumer seemed like a good idea since no one else was doing it at the time.  So Greg learned some butchering skills, developed some sausage recipes, and started retailing his own hogs right on the family homestead in Queen Creek where his grandfather first started farming in the 1940's. Before long The Pork Shop began to add smoked products to it's line, as well as a great variety of fresh home made sausages and lunch meats.  Soon the business grew to the point that Greg now buys all natural mid-western corn fed pork, devoting his entire time to the development and production of the delicious pork products available at The Pork Shop.

We sell just about anything that comes from a pig.  We smoke our own hickory smoked, brown sugar cured hams and bacons as well as a large selection of smoked sausages, lunch meats, old fashioned hot dogs, capicola, and snack sausages.  The Pork Shop is famous for bratwurst, sweet and hot Italians, and Polish sausages along with a great selection of breakfast sausage links, patties, and bulk sausages.  Recently we added a line of fresh gourmet sausages that include maple syrup, green chili, potato, beer brats, apple cinnamon, andouille, and jalapeño.  We also have a special line of cheese sausages, Parmesan Italian, provolone, and cheddar brats.

The Pork Shop carries a complete line of fresh specialty pork cuts such as baby back ribs, Iowa cut chops, top rib chops, St. Louis cut spare ribs, boneless rolled loin roasts, as well as all the standard cuts such as center cut chops, pan fry chops, pork steaks, country ribs, loin end roasts, pork butts, and many others. We

exclusively use select quality corn fed mid-western pork to bring you the freshest, tastiest, and best selection of pork in the valley.
