On Saturday, October 17, 2015, more than 1,500 bacon enthusiasts from all over the U.S. will flow into the main streets of Cranfills Gap, Texas, for the fourth annual Bacon Bash Texas event, a bacon cook-off and festival hosted by all-natural and organic meat processor Pederson's Natural Farms and sponsored by Whole Foods Market and Bayer Dodge.
Bacon Bash Texas originated in 2012 as an avenue for Pederson's Natural Farms to raise contributions and awareness for causes close to the heart of their community. In 2014 Pederson's Natural Farms was able to donate more than $30,000 to charity — a 300 percent increase from the previous year.
