Order your Boston pork shoulder butt by clicking on your desired pickup day below!
Donate a Boston butt to local families in need.
Once again, SGCVFD 501(c)(3) & the Butt Roast Team will make it possible for people to purchase an already smoked Boston butt and donate it to the customers of Two Fish Market, a local food bank combatting food insecurity and hunger in the area. Last year, two Butt Roast volunteers turned those donations into more than 250 family meals for Two Fish customers. We hope to double that amount this year. With your purchase, you can help make Gulf County safer AND help a neighbor in need - truly a win-win. To donate, please select a total quantity for personal and donated butts and confirm the quantity you wish to donate in the designated response area.
Important Notes:
Orders are available for pickup Thursday, 5/22-Friday 5/23 from 10am-6pm and Saturday, 5/24 from 10am-3pm. We are in the Eastern time zone.
Please note upon check-out whether you will be picking up in the AM or PM time slot.

About the Butt Roast
Fresh Boston pork shoulder butts are picked up each morning from the Meat Department of Duren’s Piggly Wiggly in Port St. Joe and delivered to us on Cape San Blas, where our Butt Roast Volunteers prepare them. Our Volunteer “Butt-Rubbers” coat each butt with Bad Byron’s World-Famous Butt Rub and then immediately bag them in large coolers on ice overnight to allow the Bad Bryon’s magic to sink in. The next day at 8:00 am sharp our Butt Roast Pit-Masters begin their work. Led by a team of 100% community volunteers, we begin the process of 12-hour slow-cooking our famous Boston butts. The meat is cooked to perfection and constantly monitored for that “just right temperature.” The butts are then pulled from our smoker grill and placed into insulated containers to continue to deep-cook overnight. The next day they are available for pick-up. Each butt should feed 6-8 people.
A tip from the crew: Save some of the Boston butt & the bone, as it is perfect for making your very own homemade Boston Butt Bean Soup this Fall!
Don’t forget to order Early! We ALWAYS sell out!
