It’s one thing to visit a local Maine restaurant to order your favorite meal. But it’s quite another to buy what you love and create the perfect meal at home. Many of us have perfected the art of meal preparation over the last year or two. While we can’t be sure about everyone out there, one thing we’ve loved is all the ways to prepare bacon! If you’re in the same group, head to one of our favorite shops in the state who was voted by Taste of Home to have the best bacon in Maine.
Maine Meat (or MEat) in Kittery is the place to go for fresh, local meat to bring home to create some of the best meals you’ll ever serve.

There are plenty of places to get great meat in Maine, but Maine Meat is special in that they’re a whole animal butchery.

This means they bring the entire animal from the farmer to the shop and every piece is used. For instance, once the flank steak is gone, it’s gone until next week when the next full animal is brought in.

Each and every meat they sell comes from a local farm in Maine or New Hampshire.

Even better, every animal is humanely raised without hormones or antibiotics. Anything bought also comes with a recommendation for preparation, ensuring you can prepare the best meal possible.

We love what Maine Meat stands for, but what we’re really here to talk about is bacon!

The bacon is smoked in-house with applewood and hardwood charcoal, giving it a unique and flavorful appeal.
