We are so excited to soon be able to share with you our hard work! So, in celebration, we’re hosting a month of GIVEAWAYS! This week, we’re sharing prizes related to our collaborators! Just who are these people? Glad you asked!

Custom Chalk

Remember our awesome chalkboard art cover? When Stacy got this idea, lots of people were skeptical that it would work. The long list of doubters included our publisher and even me! But we were able to find an extremely talented artist who worked with us to make something absolutely beautiful. Meet CJ Hughes of CustomChalk.com. We’re convinced he’s the only one who could have possibly realized our vision. Do you know how cool it is to have someone write your name in chalk and have it appear next to Joel Salatin’s? VERY cool.

Our Grand Prize Winner will get to feel their own chalk board utopia as well! CJ will send you your very own 9″x 12″ custom chalk board in the style of your choosing (Select from the gallery here or his Etsy page here) for delivery at the end of June! What a cool idea for your next big party or special occasion ♥

Molly Peterson Photography

In the book you’ll find a ton of awesome photos of pigs hanging out in fields and looking incredibly attractive. Including the below, featured front and center in our book (because, pastured pigs should smile and enjoy their farm life before becoming your next perfect pork chop).

You may be thinking that Aimee and Stacy must have spent weeks hanging out and photographing on various farms. That could not be farther from the truth! Actually almost every pig photo in the book came from our friend Molly, who actually works on the farm we personally patron, Mount Vernon Farm, which is managed by her husband Mike! If you recall, visiting their farm in early 2012 started our passion for pastured pork and sustainable, humane farming.

Gratitude

Molly is a fantastic photographer and is certainly worthy of your love. We’d happily hang framed photos of her farm animals in every room of our home, they’re just stunning. Our favorite of Molly’s photos is the one above that is dubbed the “Smiling Pig.” Molly has graciously offered to send our Grand Prize Winner an 8″ x 10″ print of this picture!

Not only that, but she is also offering everyone 35% off all prints on her page during the month of June with the code “BeyondBacon”!

The Organic Butcher of McLean

During the making of this book, we were fortunate to meet Don, the man behind The Organic Butcher of McLean. This was the only place in the area to be able to fulfill those last minute “I NEED PASTURED PORK LIVER BY FRIDAY FOR OUR NEXT SHOOT!” requests. And, Don was always accommodating of our odd requests like, “Can we photograph you butchering the head?”

The Organic Butcher is giving away three of their snazzy white t-shirts to three winners of this giveaway! You know you want to rock the shirt of the coolest butchers in town!

You know why Don’s the coolest? I’ve heard he’s a beast in the gym, rocking out muscle-ups like they were box jumps… yes, that’s his shop’s chalk board below that says “paleo” package – he sells gluten-free meatballs, people! And, he’s so friendly and kind that even my grandmother would’ve loved patronizing his adorable shop.

Joel Salatin

Joel Salatin is a visionary that we respect very much. Ever since we saw Food Inc and Farmageddon, we’ve admired his work in the sustainable farming movement. When we visited Polyface Farms and actually met him, we were completely thrilled! So it was with great doubt that we emailed him and asked him if he would write the foreword to our humble book. Amazingly, he agreed sight unseen and was an incredibly generous contributor to Beyond Bacon!

Our Grand Prize Winner will receive the Joel Salatin book of their choice so that they, too, can read the words of this amazing man!
