Making bacon the real happy way
As with anything there's a hard way and an easy way... We chose the hard way... and it was an easy decision.
To make a great bacon we knew we needed to start right at the beginning. First you need full flavoured fresh pork...free-farmed here at the foot of the NZ Southern Alps.
Farmed without those crates, cages and concrete pens.Farmed with healthy natural feeds. (not waste products)Farmed without growth hormones or those " tricky "chemicals designed to alter piggies natural meat structure.
And then there's the curing...
We know people are fed up with buying bacon filled with heaps of water.
Yes it's cheaper...but at Freedom Farms we say ...when you buy bacon, buy bacon...not heaps of water.
Sure we do add brine to our fresh pork to cure the bacon but for us its not about trying to double the weight...
...and we also make a special extra dry bacon completely free of nitrite preservatives and added colouring.
... just like in Captain Cooks time.....
What's with the water in bacon?
... Sadly more and more bacon and ham sold these days is made cheaper by pumping it up with lots of water to increase the weight...
We say buy bacon not water... yes you will see water in our ingredients listing... it's in our brine... but our goal is to produce dryer style bacon .... we think that's what people want...
