Thats $15 a lb for bacon what a rip off. You can get Pancetta any where, The only thing you are paying for on that list is the " Guanciale".

A few years back, my then girlfriend (now wife) did something like this for my birthday. The freezer was stocked w/ a bunch of different types & cuts of fancy bacon and she also added two cookbooks where every recipe included bacon.
I'm not saying that's what sealed the deal for me... but it may have been a contributing factor! :eyebrow:
I think I might have to show her this.
Thanks Heath!

Awesome, but really pricey!
On a side note. Just in case you join the bacon of the month club.
I made this last month for a party and it lasted about 5 minutes. It's every bit as good as it sounds

wow that sounds awesome. I def. want to try that. Man they took some good pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Good bacon is reaching near that as it is. The shortage of piglets this year has effected the price a decent amount.
You can buy a whole pig for that out here.
We have a butcher that sells half or whole cow and pig. That's the way to go if you have the extra space! It's way cheaper and the meat is soo much better

I bought my first whole hog that was free ranged raised and organic fed with no shots this year. Thru a friend at work. He was cheaper than anyone by several hundered dollars. It was 400 for the hog and 180 for butcher and processing. I'm sure others may be slightly cheaper (if your in the middle of Iowa 10 hrs from civilization) but I doubt a whole hog processed at 299.00 is possible......
And btw a 250 lb hog only yields around 140 lbs of pork.

I believe it! $600 for 140 pounds of pork might sound like a lot But if you where to go to the grocery store and buy 140 pounds of pork it would cost you $1100 or more.
Could you tell the difference in quality of meat VS range grocery store pork? We buy package deals (15-30 pounds) and the taste is much better than meat from a grocery store.

So far yes. Everything is packaged incredibly well. The bacon cooks down like all bacon but yields more per pound finished. I haven't made my way threw all the sausage. brats, Italian, hams etc yet.
I've been to this place several times and love their jowl bacon!

Oh bacon, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
For those of you who have an iPad, check out the Better Bacon Book. It's has some great recipes (or they appear to be – I've not yet tried them) as well as methods for curing your own bacon. The friend of mine who gave me the book has used made his own bacon and says there's nothing as great tasting as homemade.
Here's the iTunes link if anyone is interested:
