2 kinds of farmers market bacon
on the left is Franks smokehouse it was really smoky smelling, but looked really faty and not very smoke colored. It did not shrink like most brine solution filled bacon, but ended up looking about the same. Skillet on medium like normal. It was really thin so it was really crisp. Decent bacon, but nothing about it impressed me.
To be fair to Franks smokehouse. They make some of the most amazing jerky I have ever tasted. It is large strips that are very thick. They dry it severely, yet it is moist when you open the package. The seasonings and flavor are amazing. Make sure to pick some up if you are at the farmers market.
On the right is an awesome gift once again from my wifes dad (frozen in the pic). It looks positively evil. Smoked to the max, and covered in black pepper, from Harvest valley Foods. Apparently picked up at some farmers market. They so good to me 
It resides in my freezer right now till I am ready.
Thanks to Boomer for suggesting Super Saver smokehouse. I have tried it once, but the different locations seem to be unique.
You’ll have to let us know how that bacon is. Reading your quest for the best bacon got me hungry so I bought some bacon from Super Saver at 56th & Highway 2, it was pretty good. If I make it to the Farmer’s Market this weekend I will have to stop and get some of the jerky from Frank’s Smokehouse, that is some good stuff.

Yep. The peppered bacon is awesome, but you have GOT to try the cottege bacon. It’s the ultimate bacon. You can get it from their website at http://www.harvestvalleyfoods.com if you can’t get to the Farmers Market on Saturdays. While you are there, get a Smoker Bag. You can make ribs in your oven that taste like they’ve been smoked and grilled outside!

I contacted them asking if they sell any of it in Lincoln, nope. But they can ship it.
Cottage bacon rules, will have to get some of that as well.
