Bacon almost all fat
Just opened classic bacon, almost all fat. There must be at least 2lbs or more of just fat, I wish I could post a pic.

Farmer John is For Fat Lovers
Decided to make myself a BLT with avocado and a few slices of white onion on sourdough bread. I was totally disappointed when I removed the Farmer John bacon from the wrapper. The bacon seemed to be about 60 to 70 % FAT. So Try Farmer John bacon if you are looking for fat !!!

Thick Cut?
I bought the Farmer John thick cut bacon… I certainly would not call it thick cut !! I would like to see what their regular cut bacon was like… paper thin?? Also the pieces of bacon were EXTREMELY narrow … such a disappointment!!

Tasty, crispy, and great quality for the price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this bacon! The packaging is easy to open and reseal, and the slices cook up evenly and crispy. It has a nice balance of fat and meat, and the flavor is rich without being overly salty. Great for breakfast or adding to sandwiches!

❤️❤️❤️
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the products of this company. I often buy sausages and marinated meat for my children. I am very pleased with the quality of the products, their quality, packaging and price. Unfortunately, I never received the free product for review. Therefore, I cannot say anything about this particular product, although I am sure that it is also good

My favorite brand of bacon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really enjoyed this bacon. It’s consistent with size of slices. Good meat to fat ratio. Always cooks up evenly without curling up too much. Perfect scent to wake up to in the early mornings… and Good flavor when you’re craving some salty meat with your breakfast!

Always a hit!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Farmer John’s bacon is delicious. It always cooks up perfectly. It’s very fresh and the slices of bacon are thicker and of better quality compared to other brands like Hoffy.

Just try it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very tasty bacon — I really liked it! It’s a bit on the fatty side, but I absolutely love the smoky flavor and aroma. The slices are cut perfectly — not too thin, not too thick, just very even and neat. The packaging is great, and the price is very reasonable. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

Great quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the quality of Farmer John bacon. It’s easy to cook, taste great, and my entire family loves it. I can find it at any grocery store and I always know I’m buying great quality bacon. The packaging is easy to open and cooks well. It doesn’t feel too heavy and I enjoy making many meals out of it. Breakfast sandwiches, mac n cheese, and morning breakfast are my go-to plates for the bacon.

No frills bacon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No frills bacon. It won’t blow your mind, but it’ll be the same old type of bacon you know and love. Fries up well and leaves tons of fat for you to make a gravy out of in case you wanted to make some biscuits and gravy.

FARMER JOHN Premium Classic Bacon: Very suitable f
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's naturally hardwood smoked for a rich, full flavor. Whether you're adding it to your favorite dish or enjoying it solo, it's the perfect bite every time. It has moderate softness, natural fat without being tough or dry. This is a great choice for family parties or meetings with friends, relatives, colleagues. When grilled, the meat will not be dry but very soft and fatty.

Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty good bacon! I baked it in the oven for about 12 min for a slight crisp. Family enjoyed it for breakfast. Taste-wise I would say it’s comparable to other brands. Cost is about the same as well.

Good but not great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was good but I don't think I will be repurchasing this particular one again. My husband and I found it to be a tad bit overly salty. Also found that it doesn't cook as evenly as other brands - the edges would start to burn before the center was thoroughly cooked. Very odd as I've never experienced that with all the other bacon I've tried. Other than that, it's a pretty standard bacon.
