While you may not be hosting that big Holiday brunch this year, we still have all the makings of a delicious homemade breakfast feast for you and your family! And who doesn’t love a meal featuring bacon?
Whether you are paleo or vegan, we have a bacon for you! We have local Carolina Bacon from Lady Edison and Canadian Bacon from Firsthand Foods, made from Pasture-raised, Animal Welfare Approved hogs from the NC Hog Growers Association. We have national brands like Garrett Valley’s Applewood Dry-rubbed Thick Cut Pork Bacon, Applegate’s Sunday Bacon, and Pederson’s Natural Sugar Free Dry Rubbed or Organic Bacon. Plus, Turkey Bacon from Plainville Farms. And Lightlife’s plant-based organic tempeh strips, a bacon alternative.
All of our bacon is antibiotic and hormone free.

And here are some bacon recipes we’ve posted on our website over the years. Many of these will work with a plant-based bacon as well (plant-based bacon doesn’t tend to “wrap” well!): https://www.weaverstreetmarket.coop/?s=bacon&cat=4
