I've bought Benton's bacon (peppered bacon, I think) from Zingerman's over the years and I like it a lot.

Since we've already branched out into rice and are sort of on a southern theme, I will recommend Logan Turnpike Mill in north Georgia for grits (and other stone-ground-grain products). Terrific product and reasonably priced. Easy to find in some supermarkets in Atlanta, but you can mail-order it from anywhere. When I took my 911 up to the Tail the day after I bought it, I found myself driving right by their storefront by accident, somewhere up past Dahlonega.
