Bacon Review, Luce's Meats - by Steve

     One of the products we picked up at the Maine Harvest Festival last weekend was a pound of bacon from Luce's Meats.  They market their bacon under the name Maine Farms Brand.  The bacon was (and it is a was, as we decimated the pound this morning for breakfast) a medium cut, and was quite meaty, with not a ton of fat content.  I like bacon like this, as you get more chew and meat flavor from it.  That's not to say that I don't like a nice fatty bacon, I love that too.  The bacon was hickory smoked, but not overpowered by it.  You could definitely detect the smoke flavor, though.

     Overall, this was an amazing bacon.  I would highly recommend finding this stuff.  And we'll help you do just that.  As I said, the bacon is done by Luce's Meats, 366 Embden Pond Rd., North Anson, ME 04958.
You can also find their products at www.mainefarmsbrand.com.  Check these guys out, their products are great.  Well worth the $$.  While it was a bit pricy at $8.00 a pound, I really feel it was worth it.  Not for an every day bacon, but for a special occasion, drop the extra money and find this stuff.
