Go Lb. Salt launches line of artisan bacon available at farmers markets

Aaron and Liz Eckburg, the couple behind the Gilbert-based artisan salt company Go Lb. Salt, have released a new product line called “Bring Home the Bacon.”

The thick-cut, artisan bacon is available is four flavors: Applewood Maple, Savory Herb, Chocolate, and Black Truffle. Half-pound packages are $11 except for Black Truffle, which is $17.

“There’s a hole in the market for locally made, artisan bacon, and we are filling it,” Aaron Eckburg says. “This is heritage-bred pork with no hormones or antibiotics. It’s one of the highest quality bacons that will be on the market in the United States today.”

The Eckburgs are selling the bacon at farmers markets in Gilbert and Fountain Hills. They plan to offer it on their website soon, and are working on getting it into local grocery stores.

The Eckburgs also offer a number of salt-related cooking classes, including how to make your own bacon.
