About the Beef Bacon:
This wonderful, smoked-to-order, beef bacon is prepared the old-fashioned way - except Rick uses beef brisket (instead of pork). Developed for those who love the taste of bacon, but do not want to eat pork, the beef brisket is cured in a secret-recipe salt and sugar brine, and then smoked with famed Washington State applewood - the way Rick's family has been making bacon for over 30 years. It's never too smoky, with a perfect balance between fat and meat. The bacon is then sliced and frozen before we ship.

About the Beef
These beef brisket come from naturally-raised steer raised on a small farm in eastern Oregon. The steer is naturally graised and grain fnished - which is important for the color, texture, and taste of the meat.
