Don't Just Take Our Word for It

This bacon is so good I want to put it in my hair. That's not weird is it? No seriously, it really is the best bacon I have ever had.

This is the BEST bacon I have ever had. Very Juicy and tender. This bacon literally melts in the mouth.

Words pale to explain the rich layers of flavor in every bite of tender belly ham. The smallest bite delivers a rich full mouth experience that will be sure to put a smile on the face of your harshest ham critic.

The sausage links are outstanding and full of flavor, I highly recommend them
