No-nitrate Pork Bacon

About Our Pasture-Raised Pork, fed organic grain

Our pigs are raised outdoors on pasture and woodlands at our family farm in the Adirondacks. They root, roam, and forage freely and are supplemented with certified organic grain. We never use antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs.

We raise heritage-breed pigs known for their well-marbled meat and exceptional flavor.

No Nitrates

Looking for great tasting bacon that does not have nitrates of ANY KIND? Look no further. Most bacon out there contains either Sodium Nitrate or Celery Powder both of which contain sodium nitrate. Reber Rock Farm No-Nitrate Bacon is truly nitrate free: just salt and sugar plus a trip to the smoker. This means it does not contain any nitrates, synthetic or naturally occurring.

We always joke with our farmer friends, that if we could grow pigs that were only bacon we would still sell out of bacon! This best-selling cut of pork comes from the belly of the hog and is cured and smoked. This means the belly is rubbed with salt and sugar for flavor. Then it is smoked using hickory wood.

Preparation Tips

Bacon is simple to cook and adds incredible flavor to many dishes.

• Pan Fry: Cook slowly over medium heat until crisp, turning occasionally.

• Oven Method: Lay strips on a baking sheet and cook at 375°F for 15–20 minutes for evenly cooked bacon with less splatter. (this is our family method)

• Flavor Booster: Use chopped bacon to start soups, sauté vegetables, or add smoky richness to pasta, salads, and roasted potatoes.

Pro tip: Save the rendered bacon fat—it’s perfect for frying eggs, roasting vegetables, or adding flavor to beans and greens.
