Caw Caw Creek Bacon

We started using Caw Caw Creek bacon on our new menu. This bacon, along with Port Royal Shrimp and Anson Mills Grits are the main ingredients in our Gullah Shrimp. Over 95% of the Ingredients are from South Carolina. Here is some information from their web site.

Caw Caw Creeks is to provide you the most delicious pork you have ever tasted and to conserve heirloom pigs in an authentic sustainable environment. I strive to preserve traditional methods of agriculture, like masting pigs in oak forests and growing them slowly gleening crops like peanuts and English Peas, while introducing modern improvements where they are appropriate, like water lines and electric fencing.

Heirloom pastured pork is not rocket science, its what everybody used to do--but few do it because it is totally inefficient in terms of the typical industrial calculations of land use/labor/speed of growth. The few pigs that we finish each year use land that would produce millions of pigs in a confinement setting; heirloom pork grows slower than their hybrid counterparts;, and me working out in the woods with a bunch of pigs just doesn't go very quickly, thank goodness    cawcawcreek.com
