Pastured pork is a very versatile meat and can be sweet, savory, or spicy. Here are a few of favorite pastured pork recipes. Be forewarned–we love cooking from scratch, and you may never be able to eat conventional pork again after tasting real pasture-raised piggies!

Hi there,
A while back, I bought several packages of bacon from you and you told me what to do with it before I cooked it. Now I can’t remember…
It was something like soak it in water with salt and sugar? Overnight, I believe?
Can you fill me in again? 🙂
Thanks
Jessica

It’s super easy and very yummy. Of course, you can just cook and salt the bacon without doing anything, but it won’t taste like what you think of as bacon. 🙂
