Whom You Know Highly Recommends the Greyledge Farm Connecticut-Grown Pork Bacon! Have Some with Your Eggs for the Best Manhattan Morning!
Whom You Know is pleased to continue our coverage of Greyledge Farm with the fabulous bacon! As a rule, bacon is one of the better things in life...just read our interview with Kick Kennedy of The Legacy Group to see we aren't the only ones to think so. Peachy Deegan has not felt the same way about American bacon since she lived in Ireland where there were rashers galore (rashers are to bacon what Manhattan is to all the other boroughs), until she tried the glorious bacon of Greyledge Farm. This is not ordinary bacon. It is EXTRAORDINARY bacon. If any of our readers are vegetarians we suggest you stop immediately because living without the products of Greyledge Farm really wouldn't be living at all. This bacon is so thick and juicy you won't be able to eat just one piece. Or two. Or three. Fashion Week is over, go ahead!
This pig is really cute! The pig might even make Peachy's Pet Pals, but we are afraid we must say we like him on our plate quite a bit. A girl has got to eat!
As you remember we have recommended their beef:
At Greyledge Farm, they raise a mix of both modern and heritage breeds of hogs – Duroc Spotted Pigs, Yorkshires, Landrace, Black Pigs and Berkshires. The animals are pasture-raised and rotationally grazed with regular access to fresh grass, roots, water, sun and lots of dirt. They are fed no antibiotics, steroids or hormones. In other words, they are raised with kindness and care the way pigs were in days gone by.
The result of this humane, sustainable approach to raising farm animals is a better product. Studies have shown that stress from crowded, hostile conditions, overheating and lack of air can reduce the meat’s juiciness. Hogs raised at Greyledge Farm produce meat that is tender, moist and full of flavor.
They process their pork with the same attention to detail, using a modern USDA-supervised facility. A local, third-generation German smokehouse takes an artisanal approach to making the country-style, hickory-smoked bacon, sausages and hot dogs – hand-tying every link. The combination beef/pork hotdogs contain no nitrates or cereal fillers.
Pork Cooking Tips
- Coat chops lightly in oil to prevent drying and sticking.
- Pre-heat your oven, pan or grill.
- When grilling, sear the meat quickly over a high heat on each side to seal in its natural juices and then reduce heat to medium or low to finish cooking.
- Use tongs instead of a fork to turn your pork to prevent loss of juices.
