Event Overview
There are various versions of bacon around the world — they are all made differently due to variances in the cut of meat, the curing process, the spices/ingredients used, and the smoking process (or lack thereof). The only common denominator of real bacon: it comes from a pig.
Join the proprietor of Bolyard's Meat & Provisions to learn about sourcing great local pork and the various methods of curing & creating great tasting bacon.
Stop by for some dinner and drinks (not included in ticket price) before the kitchen closes at 7 PM and we'll have more local beers and drinks available for purchase with plenty of bacon samples and other snacks during the workshop.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
At Bolyard's Meat & Provisions we offer pork, chicken, beef, and lamb that have been raised on the lush pastures of small Midwestern farms. Non-confinement, rotational grazing, and diets consisting of alfalfa, bluegrass, chicory, clover, and an occasional acorn and grub worm, allow our animals to thrive, without the use of hormones or antibiotics. Passion and patience fuel our farmers, and it shows in the exceptional quality of our meats. Our customers can shop with confidence, knowing that they are bringing home the very best and absolute freshest pasture raised meat Saint Louis has to offer. See you soon!

Josh C.Reviewed on 10/25/17Great class experience. Teacher discussed local sourcing options and the advantages of each. Demonstrated technique for curing pork belly and shared information on different types of curing. Walked us through the remainder of the curing process and specifics on different woods for smoking and recommended temperatures. At the end we tried two different types of bacon that I was not familiar with before the class, and they were both excellent. Class was not particularly hands-on or technical, but a great overview of bacon making with tips to take home. Teacher also allowed class access to copy his bacon recipe for use at home.
