**Orders placed by Sunday of each week will be processed and shipped out approximately 3-4 weeks later**
Our Heritage Breed Pork Bacon is made from purebred pasture heritage breed pork (while you cannot choose which you get, it is either Duroc or Berkshire). The flavoring of the meat itself is distinctly different from the pork you buy at the grocery store, generally with a creamier mouth feel and texture.
The Heritage Breed Pork Bacon Box of the Month contains approximately 3 pounds of ultra premium, artisan, slow-cured, handcrafted, hardwood smoked thick cut bacon, as ~1 pound packs of each of the three different varieties currently offered.
Once we ship it approximately 3-4 weeks after the order deadline (it takes time for our suppliers to send us the meat we order each week, for us to turn it into bacon, and prep it for shipment), our bacon is sent to you fresh, uncooked, and never frozen via 2-3 day shipping!
Our bacon can be unrefrigerated for up to 5 days, but you should fry it or toss it in the fridge/freezer once you receive it.

Handling and Care
Our bacon is a cured meat product that can be kept unrefrigerated for 5 days.
The bacon is refrigerated before we box it up to ship it to you, and we ship the bacon with ice packs in the box to keep the shipping process from eating too much into that 5 day unrefrigerated window. The ice packs will likely have melted by the time you receive the bacon, which is to be expected. :-)
As long as the packages are still sealed, just fry it up or toss it in the fridge/freezer once you get it as long as you're within a week of shipping and you're good to go!
Once you get it, the unopened packages are good for 12+ months in the freezer or 6 months in the fridge. If they're opened, they're good for 9 months in the freezer or 3 months in the fridge provided they have not been contaminated.
You can prepare our bacon by frying it or in the oven, which you prefer is simply a matter of personal preference. We'd strongly recommend against preparing the bacon in the microwave, though.
Admin Policies
Shipping
We use shipping services that should deliver our packages to customers in all 50 states within 4 days of shipment, but sometimes there are delays in transit that extend that shipping time. Our bacon can be unrefrigerated for 5 days; the bacon is refrigerated before we ship it and we include ice packs in the box to lessen the amount of that 5 day window the shipping process eats up. Unless the bacon packages have been damaged in transit, it should be just fine within 7 days of shipping as long as you pop it in the fridge/freezer or fry it up once you get it.
Refunds & Replacements
If the product was damaged in transit, or you received the wrong product, or the product was delayed in transit for more than 5 days from the shipment date, we will offer your choice of a refund or a replacement order. Just send us a photo of what you received and we'll get cracking on your refund/replacement.
Product Substitutions
We reserve the right to substitute an equivalent product of equal value (e.g. one Wild Boar Bacon variety for another) at any time in the rare occasion that there is a product shortage.
Order Cancelations and Refunds
Orders canceled before the order deadlines listed in the product descriptions can be refunded 100%. Orders canceled after the order deadlines listed in the product descriptions can only be refunded for the shipping charge paid since the meat has already been ordered and, as a custom product, all sales are final.

Options and Ingredients
**Note: This info applies to all of our products, not just this particular product**
We offer several types of meat to choose from:
- Pasture Raised Pork: Our Pasture Raised Pork Bacon is a crossbreed of several Heritage Pork breeds that is pasture raised with 100% organic feed; as a result, the flavoring of the meat itself isn't quite as distinct as our Heritage Breed Pork Bacon, but it is significantly cheaper
- Heritage Breed Pork: Our Heritage Breed Pork Bacon is purebred Heritage Pork breed that is pasture raised with 100% organic feed and is noted for having a creamier texture and flavor profile than regular store bought pork
- Wild Boar: Our Wild Boar is made from Russian Razor Back wild boar caught in the wild, not farm raised feral pigs; as a result, the meat itself is noted for generally having a stronger, meatier flavor than our heritage breed pork
- Angus Beef: Our Angus Beef Bacon is 100% grass fed and pasture raised USDA Prime beef, offered in two cuts: brisket and navel. The brisket is a very lean cut of meat while the navel is a fattier cut similar to pork belly
- American Bison: Our American Bison Bacon is 100% grass fed and pasture raised bison bacon made from the brisket cut, which is a very lean cut of meat
Within the types of meat, there can be significant variability in the amount of muscle and fat from one slab of meat to the next. In a batch of, say, 10 pasture raised pork slabs, probably 6-7 will have a typical mix of muscle/fat, 2 will be quite lean, and the last 1-2 will be quite streaky. Even within a single slab of meat, it can range from quite lean to quite streaky. In general, with the caveat of the aforementioned variability in muscle/fat ratios, the heritage breed pork bacon tends to be a bit leaner than normal store bought bacon, the pasture raised pork bacon tends to have similar muscle/fat ratios to normal store bought bacon, and the wild boar bacon has significant variability and ranges from super lean to streaky.
The May-July batches of bacon include these three varieties to choose from:
- Hardwood Smoked Black Pepper Bacon
- Our signature bacon has maple sweetness on the front and a hint of black pepper on the finish. It's smoked with our proprietary blend of apple, cherry, and maple.
- Hardwood Smoked Maple Bourbon Bacon
- This is a rich, delicious bacon with a strong flavor of maple and notes of bourbon throughout. It's smoked with bourbon barrel wood.
- Hardwood Smoked Chipotle Ranch Bacon
- This bacon is marked with a mellow heat from our smoked chile powder on the front end and the tangy smoothness of ranch on the finish. It's smoked with our proprietary blend of apple, cherry, and maple.
Ingredients:
-
- Hardwood Smoked Black Pepper: Pork/Wild Boar, Maple Sugar, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, Sodium Nitrite
- Hardwood Smoked Maple Bourbon: Maple Sugar, Bourbon Smoked Black Pepper, Bourbon Smoked Salt, Honey, Cayenne, Sodium Nitrite
- Hardwood Smoked Chipotle Ranch: Ranch, Chili, Kosher Salt, Brown Sugar, Black Pepper, Oregano, Garlic, Onion, Sodium Nitrite
