A lot goes into what we do here at Broadbent’s, and for that reason, we take great pride in what we do. So, when one of our customers, a company known as “Mantry”, recently wrote about the different bacons they have used and included us in a blog that was titled “The Best Mail-Order Bacon”, we were floored.

At the time of purchase, we knew the old-fashioned Country...

  Here, in beautiful western Kentucky, we are now firmly in the middle of what we are hoping is Winter's last hoorah (Y'all say a prayer for us). The snow and ice that we saw this weekend aren't uncommon for our area this time of year, so we have learned to prepare.
