Julie, If you don't mind paying shipping charges, Greg Gunthorpe will sell you uncured, grass-fed bacon. (I marinate mine over night in a little salt and a natural liquid hickory smoke.) He sells cured bacon also, but is still searching for a nitrate-free smoke house nearby. (I'm hoping if we create enough demand here, he'll work a little harder on that project.) grassfarmer.com - PASTURED PIGS ON THE GUNTHORP FARM Lois > I'm not even sure if bacon and sausage are considered paleo.
