Better Bacon
So, what makes the bacon we sell better? We’ll tell you!
No antibiotics, ever. We offer bacon from farmers and ranchers who go the extra mile to raise their animals without depending on antibiotics for any use.
No added growth hormones. While federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in raising pork, our standards don’t allow them in any meat production.
No artificial preservatives. All of the bacon we sell is made without synthetic nitrates or nitrites.
No animal byproducts. Our standards prohibit animal byproducts in the animal’s feed.
No gestation or farrowing crates. No crates, cages or tethers are permitted during the animal’s daily life. This includes but is not limited to gestation crates and farrowing stalls for sows.
