There’s no food quite like bacon. In America, this irresistibly crispy product is equivalent to an ideal breakfast, often accompanied by fried eggs, hash browns and a slice of toast. Of course, it’s not just Americans who love bacon. Bacon is consumed worldwide in various ways (check out this classic nikujaga recipe) but it’s safe to say that we at Jones Dairy Farm know a thing or two about making the kind of bacon every family will want to eat. Our award-winning Dry-Aged Bacon is special because of the way it’s made, over many days instead of hours, and it’s a difference you can taste. So how do we create […]

When Americans think of Wisconsin, we think of amazing cheese and (if you’re a sports fan) the Green Bay Packers football team. Bordered by Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, two of the Great Lakes of North America, Wisconsin is home to lush landscapes and nearly a quarter of America’s dairy farms. Located along the Rock River is a small city called Fort Atkinson, which currently has a population of over 12,500 people. The city is named after General Henry Atkinson (1782 – 1842), who built a temporary fort in the area during the Black Hawk War, a war between U.S. troops and local indigenous tribes. After the war ended, the […]

Also known as “loin ham” in Japan, Canadian bacon is a staple of American breakfast and brunch platters. Smoked, sliced and fully cooked, this product is great for easy-to-make snacks, sandwiches, pizza toppings and simple morning plates. But what exactly is Canadian bacon? Here, we answer some of the most common questions associated with the mysteriously named product. What is Canadian bacon? Canadian bacon is made from pork loin, which makes it much leaner than American side bacon, which is made only from the pork belly. This gives Canadian bacon a different texture that is closer to a thick slice of ham than cured bacon most people are familiar with. […]
