Such a delicious and completely LOCAL breakfast this morning…pretty much the same breakfast I grew up eating almost every morning ~ thanks to my Mama.
But even better ~ all local bacon, eggs, grits and toast.
Slicing the Bacon from Foothills Pasture Raised Meats

Starting the Day Off Right!
I am mostly a vegetarian, but my daughter is NOT. As far as the bacon, lets just say I’m spoiling my daughter who is home for Christmas break from Chapel Hill. She said it is the “BEST bacon she has ever eaten.”
The bacon was a gift from Foothills Pasture Raised Meats (Meredith & Casey McKissick). Eggs are from East Fork Farm. Grits from Blue Hill Farm. Toast from Annie’s Naturally Bakery.
I sure miss all the great Asheville bakers – no one in Greensboro compares!
We DO have some awesome bread bakers here. Pictured in this post is Multi-Grain Bread from the wonderful folks at Annie’s Naturally Bakery. A trip to the local Asheville Tailgate Markets will reveal many amazing artisan bakers offering bread that demonstrates why bread is called the “staff of life”. I take my lunch to work daily, and every one of my brown-bag sandwiches is awesome because of the delicious bread. Two particular favorites: Farm & Sparrow Market Bread with Herbs, and a Wake Robin Farm bread called Bad Boy.
Hey Ruth,
I’m hungry! Your posts always make me want to eat and EAT LOCAL as you always point out. Thanks for all the work you do on behalf of local food.
