I always strive to be sustainability conscious when I’m grocery shopping, and I
work to ensure the food I am eating is sourced in the right way for the greater
good! It’s important for me and my family. That’s why I was thrilled when I found Greenfield Natural Meat Co.™ while grocery shopping at Publix.

Now, whether I’m cooking up bacon for BLTs or for wrapping scallops and dates, I know I’m contributing to a better world.
I would love to showcase how I incorporate Greenfield Natural Meat Co.™ into one of my favorite appetizers; bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles.
These bundles are a go-to appetizer of mine because I can always prep them ahead of time and put them in the oven when the time is right. It’s also the perfect amount of saltiness (with added vegetables) and only two ingredients.
As a mom, it’s so important for me to understand what goes into my children’s bodies. Greenfield Natural Meat Co.™ is a proudly carbon-neutral meat brand. Their meats are humanely raised with 100% vegetarian feed, no antibiotics, and no growth hormones.

How to Make Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles
Start by washing your asparagus and trimming the ends. I usually snap the asparagus and the ends come right off. For the bundles, I like to use a sharp knife and cut the ends off, so they are all the same length.
Next, toss the asparagus in olive oil and pepper (you don’t need to add salt.)
Then, wrap the bacon around the stalks so that it slightly overlaps the first end and secures it into place. I wrapped two asparagus per piece of bacon. Continue wrapping, working your way down the stalk until you reach the other end of the bacon.
Arrange the bundles on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. I put down foil for less mess. Or, instead of a regular baking sheet, use a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet.
Not only is it a fabulous party appetizer, but this would also make an elegant side dish to serve with steak or fish.
Benefits of Asparagus
Asparagus is great paired with Greenfield Natural Meat Co.™ meat because it supports gut health. It works as a prebiotic to help regulate the digestive system.
Asparagus may also lower blood pressure and relieve inflammatory conditions. It’s low in calories and a great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, and K. And it’s rich in folic acid, which is great for pregnant women.
