Where does 'fatty bacon' come from? These pieces are from the sides of the pork belly, where the fat is naturally more abundant, giving you all the goodness of our premium bacon in its richest form.
The perfect balance of flavor and healthy fats, crafted with care and the finest ingredients. Raised on diverse pastures, our hogs forage naturally, leading to a nutrient-dense profile and bacon that’s truly different. You’ll taste and feel the difference! In fact, many of our customers who couldn’t tolerate conventional bacon have found that they can enjoy ours without any issues.
Made from our LowPs™ Pork belly, salt, and celery powder (a natural curing option), our bacon is free from nitrates, nitrites, and synthetic preservatives. Our No Nitrates/Nitrites protocol ensures that only safe, natural alternatives are used, allowing you to enjoy real, clean bacon without the harmful additives.
What truly sets our bacon apart is the authentic smoke flavor. Unlike many conventional smoked meats that rely on liquid smoke or “natural smoke flavoring,” we slow-smoke our bacon over real hickory logs (without the use of liquids), creating a deep, rich flavor. Hickory wood produces a more robust smoke than other woods, adding layers of complexity that can’t be replicated by artificial methods. This process avoids harmful compounds like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are often concentrated in liquid smoke.
Did you know that conventional bacon can have a fatty acid profile similar to that of canola oil? Yikes! Not ours. Our bacon is crafted with care, delivering the healthiest fatty acids thanks to a custom-made, low-PUFA, corn- and soy-free feed. This results in bacon that’s not only incredibly flavorful but also supports your health—because you are what your food eats!
Pre-cured and pre-cut, it’s ready to sauté, pan-fry, or bake, offering you an authentic, flavorful experience from start to finish.
Choose our pork bacon for an honest, wholesome taste that honors the tradition of slow smoking over real wood, free from the chemicals and shortcuts of industrial production.
- Chop up and use in cornbread and biscuit recipes to replace some of the butter with for a smoky, savory edge

Farming Practices
Low in PUFAs, Custom-Feed
Modern pork contains significantly higher levels of PUFAs than it did in the past, with conventional pork now containing the same amount of PUFAs as canola oil, definitely not ideal for strong metabolisms! This shift is largely driven by changes in the pig’s diet, specifically the mass production of corn, soy, distiller grains, and other PUFA-rich ingredients used in conventional feed. While pasture-raised pigs may have access to more natural grazing, they still require supplemental feed, which is often rich in PUFAs. As a result, even pasture-raised pork can still have elevated levels of omega-6 fatty acids, as the pigs’ diet directly influences the fat composition of their meat.
At Nourish, we’ve taken a different approach. We’ve developed a custom-made low-PUFA, nutrient-dense corn- and soy-free feed for our pigs, ensuring their meat is rich in metabolism-supporting fats and lower in inflammatory PUFAs. Our focus on better feed practices leads to healthier pigs and better food for you, with lab testing to back it up.
Simply put, better food for our animals means better food for you!
Mobile Pasture-Raised for Optimal Nutrition
Pigs raised on pasture have access to a more diverse, nutrient-rich diet, including supplemental feed, fresh grasses, plants, and insects. This variety enhances their nutrient intake, which is then reflected in the quality of the meat you consume. Pasture-raised animal products are often richer in fat-soluble vitamins. For example, vitamin D levels increase with sunlight exposure, as animals synthesize it in their skin and store it in their fat. Vitamin K2 levels are also influenced by diet, with grass-fed animals typically containing higher amounts of this essential nutrient. Truly pasture-raised animals may also contain higher levels of beneficial compounds like polyphenols, which support gut and overall health.
In contrast, animals raised in confinement are limited to a uniform feed source, resulting in a less diverse nutrient profile and a less nutrient-dense final product.
At Nourish, we take this a step further through mobile pasture-based practices. Our pigs are regularly moved to fresh pasture, ensuring continuous access to new grasses and insects while preventing overgrazing. Unlike the loosely defined “pasture-raised” label, this system protects soil health, preserves vegetation, and supports a more natural environment for the animals. The result is healthier pigs, more sustainable land use, and ultimately, more nutrient-dense food for you.
Healthier Pigs, Free of Pharmaceuticals
Healthy animals don’t need pharmaceutical crutches. Our pigs are raised in optimal conditions: mobile pasture-raised with daily access to fresh grass, clean air, and space to move and express their natural instincts. Unlike confined pigs that require constant antibiotic interventions due to poor living conditions, our pigs aren’t trapped in their own waste or exposed to airborne toxins. Instead, they breathe fresh air, forage freely, and benefit from nutrient-rich grasses that support their gut and immune health. While pigs can’t survive on grass alone, regular access to fresh pasture provides key nutrients and fiber, promoting overall well-being.
This natural lifestyle eliminates the need for routine antibiotics, vaccines (including mRNA vaccines), hormones, and dewormers. Industrial pigs, crammed into barns or cages, rely on daily antibiotics in their water and an aggressive vaccine schedule just to survive. In contrast, our pasture-raised pigs exercise more, experience less stress, and develop stronger immune systems, resulting in healthier meat with superior nutrient density. By prioritizing regenerative farming, we raise resilient pigs that rarely get sick, avoiding the pharmaceutical dependence of conventional hog production.
