Heritage Bacon

The Spruce Eats Loves Our Bacon Subscription

If he lives for bacon and wants to learn more about where his food comes from, this food gift will make him happy on a monthly basis. The pork comes from heritage breeds, those of which can trace their lineage many generations back and are valued for their excellent, nuanced flavors. The farmers who work with heritage breeds pledge to raise them humanely; they are also never given growth hormones or antibiotics. Each box comes with about three pounds of bacon, plus details about the history of both the breed and farm it came from.

Cara Loves our Heritage Breed Meat and Loyalty Program

"We are always seeking hormone-free, well exercised, good-tasting meat. (We like some of our local suppliers, too - gotta support one's community). As former small business owners, we respect and try to support small operations whenever possible. That you ship is SO great. We are thankful we found you! Food gifts are my favorite (to give and receive). Who wouldn't love a coupla chops or two? And honestly, I love your 'loyalty gifts'" — Cara

Charles Johnson Loves Our Heritage Pork Loins

Really, you might consider an online, publicly visible rating system. Why, you may ask? Because my last order included bone-in pork loin. I followed the direction card you included in my order. The vagaries of charcoal grilling being what they are, the loin I cooked on my Weber Kettle was done slightly early but it was perfect!  Five Stars!

Deb Crystal Loves our Heritage Breed Shanks

Oh goodness, you have no idea how much we drooled over the shank offerings!! Couldn't be more excited to have these babies in the freezer and do the 'shank a month' thing!! We love a good shank!! I shop heritage meat because in addition to believing you are what you eat, you are also what you eat eats. I value pasture raised and finished and we have found the heritage breeds to have a superior flavor!

Veronica Kelly Loves Our Pork Roasts and Leftovers

Veronica Kelly Loves Our Pork Roasts and Leftovers

We love that roast!  It’s so easy to cook in the oven. We simply put in shallow roasting pan on rack and roast to temp at 350 as in your instructions. Usually takes about 20-30 min in the oven to get to 125. As in your instructions, getting it to room temp first is key.
