What is BaconCamp?

This is the home of collaborative planning for BaconCamp, a celebration of bacon in the spirit of BarCamp.

BaconCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment about bacon. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants who are the main actors of the event.  It is community driven and everyone is encouraged to participate by presenting (food, art, demo), judging, or volunteering.  BaconCamp is not a spectator sport.

BaconCamp in the News

SF Weekly 

Food Apocalypse

"Many of you are now standing up and gathering your things, having seen the words bacon and camp placed so intriguingly close."

Saturday Glutony: BaconCamp

" It was a well-organized and smoothly run event that simultaneously demonstrated just how much of a high bacon is currently on in terms of notoriety and how far people are able to stretch one culinary theme."

Piggin' out at S.F. BaconCamp

"These are not your ho-hum "Let's have some bacon for breakfast" types of guys and gals. These are the people who buy pillows that look like bacon and who spend hours in the kitchen dreaming up something new to do with bacon. They were wearing stickers with pigs on them."
