Big Fork Brands was founded in 2011 by husband-and-wife team Lance and Ann Avery in Chicago, Illinois. Chef Lance combined his Iowa upbringing with his Chicago culinary experience to develop bacon sausage and later expand into pork snacks and Chicago-inspired sauces. The family-owned business puts flavor first and emphasizes distinctive recipes and relationships with small family farms. Its pork sourcing centers on heritage hogs raised outdoors in Iowa, reflecting the founders’ interest in how their food is raised as well as how it tastes.
Enjoy the flavor of craft pork snack sticks in a bag of bite-size pieces. Little Piggy Bites come in an 8 oz vacuum-packed bag in your selected Original, Maple & Pepper, or Thai Green Curry flavor.
The package labels confirm an 8 oz net weight, matching the supplier’s half-pound description. These are snack stick ends and pieces rather than individually wrapped full-length sticks, so the bag is suited to portioning at home and sharing from a serving bowl.
The supplier makes these pork snacks in small batches in the United States and describes its meat sourcing as heritage hogs raised outdoors in Iowa. The sticks are naturally smoked. Their ingredient panels include colored beef collagen casing, a useful distinction for shoppers choosing products by animal ingredients.
Pour a portion into a bowl for a savory snack board or divide the pieces into a clean container for an outing. Once opened, the bulk bag needs refrigeration; it does not have the same unopened individual-wrapper convenience as a case of full sticks. The pieces contain beef collagen casing as well as pork, so they are not a pork-only ingredient product.
Original: Pork, water, cane sugar, sea salt, natural flavors, citric acid, celery juice powder, and colored beef collagen casing.
Maple & Pepper: Pork, water, cane sugar, maple syrup, sea salt, black pepper, natural flavors, citric acid, celery juice powder, and colored beef collagen casing.
Thai Green Curry: Pork, green curry paste (fresh green chili, garlic, wild ginger, shallot, lemon grass, salt, kaffir lime, sugar, galangal, spices [coriander seeds, cumin, cardamom, turmeric]), water, cane sugar, sea salt, natural flavors, citric acid, celery juice powder, and colored beef collagen casing.
These are the supplier’s flavor-specific ingredient panels. No major-allergen-free facility guarantee was available. Read the wrapper or bag for the selected flavor and any updated handling information. A meat snack’s sugar content and ingredients should be assessed using its own label rather than a blanket dietary claim.
Made in the United States in small batches, explicitly stated on the matched supplier product page. Iowa is the stated hog-raising location, not an independently established manufacturing state.
Shelf-stable while unopened. Refrigerate after opening and consume within one week, as directed by the supplier. Keep the bag label with the remaining pieces.
Big Fork schedules jerky and snack stick shipments every other day. These products are described as shelf-stable while unopened, rather than part of the frozen sausage shipping program. Holidays, weather, or other conditions may delay dispatch. Tracking is supplied for shipped orders. Check destination eligibility, the delivery service, and the actual shipping charge at checkout. No fixed transit time or supplier-site free-shipping promotion is promised for a BuyAmerican order.
For a BuyAmerican order, contact hello@buyamerican.com promptly about damage, an incorrect item, or another problem and obtain instructions before sending goods. BuyAmerican’s refund policy excludes perishable food returns. Big Fork separately publishes a 30-day-from-purchase satisfaction/refund policy subject to unused condition, original packaging, proof of purchase, and photographs; it does not offer food exchanges, and perishable sausage cannot be physically returned. Supplier terms are provided as fulfillment background, not as a replacement for BuyAmerican’s order policy. Approval is required before any refund or authorized return, and neither a refund nor free return postage is automatic.
Read the BuyAmerican refund and returns policy for the order process. A supplier’s published terms do not authorize an unsolicited return shipment.
