Description
After years of practice, our Signature Bacon was launched in 2019. We have sold nearly 1,000 pounds since then at local pop-ups and our annual Christmas bacon sale.
The defining moment came at a University of Michigan football tailgate in September of 2019. We spent all night smoking brisket, pork, and other great barbecue with Joe Pichey of Go Blue BBQ and Chris Gentry of Gentry’s BBQ, but it was the bacon that made the first impression. While we were setting up for the tailgate on game day morning, we served our bacon. Attendees provided rave reviews, but one lady’s feedback stood out.
“I’m a vegan, but everybody told me I had to try your bacon. I tried it and it is unbelievable! I just can’t stop eating it,” she declared.
That was when we knew we had something special.
We start with a whole pork belly, hand-selected for the best quality. We cure it for 7-10 days in our Signature Bacon cure, then smoke it over cherry wood and let it rest before hand-slicing into thick slices. Finally,we package and vacuum-seal it to ensure it stays fresh.
You know that over processed, thin, full-of-fat bacon you buy at the grocery store? This isn’t that. In fact, our Signature Bacon will make you never want to go back to that.
Our Signature Bacon is available year-round, but we also offer special flavors from time to time, including chocolate covered bacon that we did for Valentine’s Day and maple bourbon candied bacon for Father’s Day. Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for up-to-date offers.

We recently tried Pasatiempo’s bacon for the first time and were blown away. It is the best bacon we’ve ever had (and we’ve eaten a lot of bacon). We ordered the signature bacon and the honey chipotle. Both the bacon itself and the seasonings on it were incredibly flavorful. We’ll be back for more!

Ordered two pounds of this to try for a special occasion and expected it to be really good since all these products have been awesome but I have to say – This bacon is out of this world! best bacon I have ever had. We used some of it even in small individual quiches and everyone was asking “what is in this?” – truly wonderful. Do yourself a favor and order some.

I got a chance to try this fantastic porky goodness at a tailgate and was blown away. You will never go back to store bought bacon again. EVER!!! This bacon is perfectly smoked and has great flavor. Trust me when I say that your BLT game will never be the same. Thx J! Great job.

I got this for my bacon-loving husband for Valentine’s Day and we were both blown away by how good it was! It has SO much flavor, and the thick cut makes each slice such a treat to eat. We will for sure be buying more soon!

Heard about this from a friend and they raved about it, so had to see for myself! IT IS FANTASTIC! Perfect amount of smoke, the seasoning is spot on, and it’s cut just right.
