Back Bacon Chops
We use top quality boneless pork centre loins, drycure them and slice into 3/4" chops. Grill, fry or BBQ them for an alternative to pork chops, or sliced bacon in a breakfast. Available in vacuum packs of 2 or 4 chops, and sold by weight.

Back bacon chops are priced at $8.00/lb.


Side Bacon Slices
For those of you who prefer a slightly fattier bacon, we select leaner pork bellies and drycure them to make a streaky bacon ideal for frying to a crisp. Hickory smoked in our smokehouse for a rich smoky aroma. Available in a 454g vacuum pack. 
Side bacon slices are priced at $8.00/lb.
 

Gammon Steaks
These are a British favourite. Large full sized ham steaks, with that unforgettable flavour, but not too salty!  Large appetites required to eat a whole steak!
Gammon steaks are sold individually and priced at $7/lb. Weights of individual steaks vary from 0.75lb to 1.5lb. 


Custom Orders
Whether you prefer your bacon sliced thicker, thinner or just in slabs, we can usually cater to your individual requirements. Please just call us to place your special order. No minimum order necessary here. You must be available to promptly collect your order either from a farmers' market or from our farm shop.

Special Note: Our drycured bacon products are NOT nitrite free. Nitrites are an essential part of the curing process, and our bacon is not 'nitrite free'. If nitrite free cures become available and allowable in the future we will certainly consider using them, but for now anyone making claims of 'nitirite free' cured products are taking some considerable risks as these products are not proven to be safe. Nitrites are commonly found in many vegetables e.g. spinach, celery root etc., some at very high levels. Nitrites are also found in Sea Salt. Check your labelling - if it lists Celery Root Extract, or cure, it contains Nitrites.


Here are the views on nitrite use of popular chef / author and blogger Michael Ruhlman - you can find out more at www.ruhlman.com

Many think of sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate to be harmful chemical additives and have heard that they can be carcinogenic in certain situations. Here is my position on these issues:

Nitrates and Nitrites are naturally occurring chemicals that our bodies rely on for a number of reasons. Green vegetables such as spinach and celery are loaded with them. Of all the nitrite in our bodies, as much as 93% of it comes from the nitrate in vegetables. Our bodies naturally convert nitrate into nitrite, which works as a powerful antibacterial agent, particularly in an acidic environment (such as in our stomachs).

In the 1970s, concerns arose that nitrites could be carcinogenic. Current studies conclude that large quantities (as in contaminated water) can do serious damage, but that the quantities added to food do not. Indeed, as one study put it, “Since 93% of ingested nitrite comes from normal metabolic sources, if nitrite caused cancers or was a reproductive toxicant, it would imply that humans have a major design flaw.”[1]

And The American Medical Association reports that as of 2004, “given the current FDA and USDA regulations on the use of nitrites, the risk of developing cancer as a result of consumption of nitrites-containing food is negligible.”

It’s my belief that companies advertising their products as “nitrite-free,” are either uninformed themselves or are pandering to America’s ignorance about what is healthy and what is harmful in our foods. In other words, the term “no nitrites added” is a marketing device, not an actual health benefit.
