I had the opportunity to try some of New Roots Farm's wonderful pork from our local farmers market. We tried the ribs, bacon, and lard. I want to emphasize that this was, hands down, the best bacon I have ever had. I purchase bacon from markets whenever I can find it...and have sampled many of the natural (and not-so-natural) brands in the grocery stores. This flavor was excellent and the texture was perfect. I generally prefer thin slices because the thicker cuts can be chewy and tough. This was more of a medium slice and the fat melted in my mouth. Superb! Ribs were also excellent and fell off the bone after 1 hour in the oven. Lard has also been wonderful for pie crusts and tortillas. Glad to have found New Roots Farm's pork and I am already hungry for more!
