5 Knives, Vermont Grown Uncured Bacon

Natural Bacon, naturally grown on single Vermont family farm, from heritage Berkshire-Chester White cross pigs - brined in Vermont Maple Syrup and not too much salt before smoking with the sweet, mellow corn cob and maple wood smoke - perfection on a plate!

These piggies start their lives in a specially designed nursery that allows them to safely roam inside the barn.  When old enough, they go out onto pasture in the summer time to graze along with their diet of grain grown from non-GMO seed by a neighboring farmer and freshly ground daily.  Their Berkshire genetics give them a pleasing amount of flavorful fat and their Chester White parentage gives them great tasting, meaty cuts.

The bacon from these happy porkers has a different flavor from their barn-raised cousins -- their diet of grass, freshly ground grains and foraged goodies from their pastures likely makes the difference.  The bacon actually needs to cook at a lower temperature to avoid burning - this bacon is a special treat!  This bacon is a revelation of how bacon is meant to taste!

To help us better tell the story of these pigs and their delicious ham, bacon and sausages, these items now wear a "5 Knives" label.  Please look for our 5 Knives label bacon and ham in select Vermont and New England-New York City stores.
