Camp Bacon Main Event: A Beautiful Day at the Farm
It was a great day for Camp Bacon out at Cornman Farms. The weather was mild and sunny, the temperatures reasonable, and the food and conviviality top-notch. By all accounts, this year’s camp was best to date.
Thanks to all of our wonderful speakers and guests who took time out of their busy lives to attend our humble gathering. Thanks to our generous sponsors, without whom this would not be possible. And thanks to all of the hardworking Zingerman’s staff who make all of the effort look easy. All of you are wonderful people!
Here are some photo highlights from the event:
