When all else fails,

wrap it in bacon

Bacon wrapped pork loin. Bacon wrapped shrimp. Bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers. Bacon wrapped shoes — alright, maybe not that one. There's a reason that almost everything has been, or should be, wrapped in bacon. The versatility of bacon is unmatched, from breakfast to dinner and everything in between.

Meet a family behind the bacon

Family, farming, and animal care — the top priorities for the McClure family. Father and son, Terry and Ryan McClure, speak of how these beliefs are weaved through their lives as pig farmers. 

"Our greatest compliment really is being taken for granted," said Terry McClure, "because the expectation is going to be good, wholesome, great tasting food every time, and that's our commitment."

Alongside Terry and Ryan is the seventh generation of pig farmers, showing that the farm and family really are the same. "The amount of hours spent on the farm requires your family next to you," said Ryan.
