- Here at our farm we grow most of our own food, including making our own bacon. We raise and process the hogs ourselves, slice out the pork belly, trim it up, apply a mixture of 2 parts salt, 1 part pepper, and 3 parts brown sugar, wrap it in butcher paper, let it sit for 10-14 days, wash, smoke to an internal temp of 150 degrees, allow to cool overnight in the refrigerator, slice with a knife or slicer, vacuum seal and enjoy your homemade bacon for the upcoming year! Once you try this its hard to go back to that store bought stuff!

When I was a kid in rural California, my Grand Dad raised hogs every year. Due to our location, he would go around 2 or 3 times a week and collect all the produce from the many fruit stands in the area that was to ripe, or they couldn't sell. This is what he fed his hogs. Man oh man, that was the best tasting pork I have ever had...no kidding. Mom, Dad and us kids left California when I was 10 years old, and I haven't been back since. That was over 60 years ago and I pretty sure the California that I remember no longer exists. A tip from an old timer...home grown/made ANYTHING is far superior than store bought ANYTHING.
Hi there from St Petersburg, Russia! I love your accent so much 😭💖
That's the best looking bacon I've seen in a long time. That's the best way to reuse an old pack house as a smoke house rather than to store junk in.
I respectfully envy y’all, I never got the chance to live the life y’all have, I’m 70 now n have enjoyed other avenues but I sure would have loved the experience of being self sufficient as y’all are. I understand it can be hard n difficult at times, but everything in life is worth the effort you put into it, God Bless your Family
I'm with Andy on this one. I like my bacon 🥓 a little chewy.
Love keeping old tradition alive! Everyone is about convient food nowadays. Guilty myself.
Life long NC resident here. Thanks for the education.
Like a trip down memory lane. My grandparents lived on a farm and made their own German sausage, bacon, eggs from their chickens . Also my grandma use to own a bakery. Visiting them every year was a highlight. After spending my life in the corporate world, I am truly jealous. And you are truly blessed. Thanks.
I wish I could understand and explain why watching these videos makes me just feel good inside....and it ALWAYS makes me hungry when you cook LOL Thank You so much
Megan borned in the Great Smoky Mountains this brings back childhood memories i.m 63 this year thank you very much
My family are from Pitt county North Carolina. Been there since the 1550's .I am from the Pennsylvania ,born and raised . I lived there when I was in my late teens and early 20s . I loved it but not the weather , to hot for me , I like the snow and deep cold. I heard stories from my grand mother and others how they grew everything including tobacco. I always wanted to work the land . I have a natural ability to do it. Now that I am 56 and I'll in health those days are gone . But it's nice to see others doing something that is becoming a lost art in farming and surviving off the land . Makes one appreciate what they have more .
It’s taken my wife a little while to adjust to cooking fresh bacon versus store bought bacon. It’s amazing how much faster the fresh cooks and definitely tastes better
Nothing better than making your own food 😋
Bacon looks great. Thanks for sharing your process.
I am fortunate to live in rural southern Ohio. My neighbors are Amish, Mennonite, and Christian farmers. I buy all my meat from a Mennonite butcher, who raises nothing but Angus beef. He has an Amish farmer that supplies hogs and another that supplies lamb. He smokes all the bacon, ham, and kassler rippchen on site. The Amish have bakeries and produce business, where we shop once a week. We may well be "Fly over" territories, but damn we eat good!
Enjoyed the video.... the challenge i have when i cook bacon is i have to cook extra because i cant keep my fingers out of the resting bowl. Cook 3 slices eat 1.... 😃
WOW, now that's some Bacon!!! Thanks for sharing this journey From the root to the toot with us. You did a fine job with the bacon beginning to the end and I could almost taste it. As for which one cooked it the best, well it would depend on which one I was talking too. I just like farm raised and prepared bacon period. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and recipes from around there. Fred.
YUM!!!
Raised our first hogs last year. This morning we ate our first batch of bacon from them. It was so good.
