Why We Chose It: Pig of the Month offers a host of unique flavors that varies in each delivery.

If you want a grand tour of every imaginable flavor of bacon, then check out Pig of the Month BBQ's Bacon of the Month Club. This bacon subscription service delivers two different flavors of sliced bacon to your door every Month. Pig of the Month has 24 distinct varieties, which means you can subscribe for an entire year without any repeat flavors.

Pig of the Month makes its bacon at its Ohio facility. All of the pork is free-range and humanely raised by Midwestern farmers. The bacon contains no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or nitrates. Pig of the Month's bacon is as diverse as they are inventive, with flavors like Everything Bagel Bacon, Korean BBQ Bacon, and White Truffle Sea Salt Bacon. And don't worry, the company makes plain bacon too.

Although boxes are delivered monthly, you must subscribe for three, six, nine, or 12 months and then pay for the entire period up front. The subscriptions cost about $130, $250, $350, and $440, respectively, with free shipping. If you want to see what you're getting into before committing, Pig of the Month offers a sample box for about $69 plus shipping.

Why We Chose It: If you love the taste of heritage pork, Heritage Foods carries bacon from some of the best farmers in the game.

Founded in 2001, Heritage Foods is a mail order and wholesale company dedicated to preserving ancient breeds of livestock endangered by modern factory farming practices. It partners with farmers who raise these animals to prioritize sustainability, biodiversity, animal welfare, and culinary tradition.

Heritage Foods's partners focus on six heirloom breeds of pig: Large Black, Duroc, Berkshire, Tamworth, Gloucestershire Old Spots, and Red Wattle. Every box of bacon includes detailed information about the history of the breeds and the farms they came from.

This subscription isn't about a bunch of alternative bacon flavors. It's about quality and the subtle differences between the different kinds of pigs. To that end, Heritage Foods works with some of the country's top smokehouses, which expertly cure and smoke the bacon to bring out the best in each belly. These artisan partners include S. Wallace Edwards and Sons, Fatted Calf, Colonel Bill Newsom's, Benton's, and others.

Each monthly bacon box costs about $60 plus shipping and includes three different 12- to 16-ounce packages of sliced heritage bacon. Subscriptions are month to month, so that you can cancel anytime.

Why We Chose It: All of the Baconarium's bacon can be purchased by the slab, plus it carries wild boar bacon.

Based in Virginia, The Baconarium makes all of its bacon in small batches by hand, using only pasture-raised pork, heritage pork, and wild-caught Russian Razorback boar. Each batch is made to order, so you know that the bacon you receive is always fresh.

The Baconarium sells its products in two ways: by the pound and by the slab. Both forms are available for subscription. Bacon sold by the pound arrives thick-sliced, while bacon sold by the slab comes in quarter, half, or full slabs—which vary in weight from 2 pounds to as much as 14 pounds. When you order by the slab, you get to slice your bacon to suit your taste and the particular application, whether you want your bacon thin and crispy for breakfast or sliced extra thick for lardons, grilling, braising, or mixing things up.

All three kinds of pork—pasture, heritage, and boar—come in three flavors, which change every couple of months. The varieties offered are smoked maple black pepper, smoked simon and garfunkel, and smoked apple cinnamon. You can also choose whether to receive your bacon once a month, every other month, or every three months.

The Baconarium offers some of the lowest prices around. To get the best value, order by the full slab. That amount of pasture-raised bacon, for example, sells for only around $8 per pound, by far the best deal on this list. Shipping a full slab costs about $20, or roughly $2 more per pound, which is still a fantastic deal for such high-quality bacon.

Why We Chose It: Four pounds per month at a very reasonable price makes North Country's bacon club ideal for folks who eat a lot of bacon.

North Country Smokehouse is from the north country, a rarity among bacon producers, who usually hail from the south or midwest. Based in New Hampshire, North Country was founded in 1912 and today is one of the few remaining family-owned smokehouses in the United States. North Country Smokehouse sources its pork from duBreton, a leading provider of Certified Humane and organic pork.

North Country's bacon has some serious pedigree, garnering high praise from Men's Journal and Food & Wine magazine. Customers agree. One reviewer put it this way: "The quality and taste of North Country is hard to beat!"

If your fridge is always stocked with bacon, North Country's Bacon of the Month club is for you. The company ships a total of 4 pounds to subscribers each month, enough for more than 2 ounces of bacon every day. That's a lot of BLTs.

North Country makes five different flavors of bacon for the club: applewood smoked, applewood smoked peppered, fruitwood smoked uncured, cob smoked, and sugar-free fruitwood smoked uncured. You can mix and match them as you like. Subscriptions can be purchased for either six or 12 months, with payment due upfront. A six-month subscription is about $280. A year costs roughly $540. Shipping is extra.

Why We Chose It: Bacon Swinery has quality ingredients, creative flavors, and thick slices.

The name Bacon Swinery refers to wine, or, more accurately, to the culture of connoisseurship that fine wine and spirits tend to inspire.

There are so many flavors that the Bacon of the Month Club allows you to choose between a sweet, savory, or spicy monthly box. If you can't decide, the Swinery folks will surprise you with different selections every month.

The Month Club's Bacon includes a mix of four 10-ounce bricks of thick-sliced bacon, shipped monthly or bi-monthly and each box costs about $40. The club is pay-as-you-go, and you can cancel anytime. Shipping is free.

Why We Chose It: Grandad's uses no preservatives or artificial ingredients in its natural, handmade bacon.

Grandad's Bacon boasts a personal story. The company is the passion project of a retired research and development chemical engineer with a taste for international cuisine, craft beer, organic vegetables, and, of course, Bacon.

Upon retiring from his day job of over three decades, the nameless Grandad headed straight to Italy to study old-world methods of charcuterie. He went to Iowa, where Iowa State University runs a state-of-the-art meat laboratory, pioneering modern meat production methods.

Thus versed in the full spectrum of meat manufacturing techniques, Grandad made his choice: to make his Bacon the old-fashioned way, one slab at a time. After a couple of years of painstaking R&D, Grandad's Bacon was born.

Grandad's boasts six flavors: Spicy Pepper and Garlic, Bourbon BBQ, Maple Syrup and Brown Sugar, Espresso, Hot and Spicy, and Stout Beer. The first three flavors are available in both American and British Cut. British Cut bacon comes from a slightly different region of the pig, with a higher ratio of lean to fat. According to Grandad, it's the perfect cut for BLTs.

Grandad's Bacon of the Month Club ships out two 8-ounce packages each month. Sign up for three, six, or 12 months and pay as you go. Each month costs $24, plus shipping.

Why We Chose It: If you like to think outside the slice, The Baconer has lardons, bacon steaks, and even ground bacon.

If you're a serious cook, you probably use bacon in many different ways. Bacon is a versatile ingredient and can function almost like a seasoning. The Baconer knows this, and that's why it offers bacon in so many different forms. This company is the only producer on our list that sells ground bacon, which makes an incredible addition to burger blends, meatloaf, meatballs, and so much more.

Headquartered near Berkeley, California, The Baconer is led by husband and wife team Camilo Velasquez and Elisa Lewis. The pigs they source are fed non-GMO, vegetarian food, have room to roam, and are never given hormones or subtherapeutic antibiotics.

All of The Baconer's products are available on a subscription basis. For a mix of everything it offers, check out the Bacon Lover's Box, which includes its thick-sliced, small-batch bacon, its half-inch thick bacon steaks, smoked lardons, and the ground bacon, totaling nearly 4 pounds of the good stuff. The box sells for around $125 with free shipping and you save 20% on your first order. If you don't need that much bacon every month, you can receive a box every two, three, or four months instead. All subscriptions are pay-as-you-go, and you can cancel anytime after two orders.
