It All Started with a Vegan Diet — Healthy Change Brought Perspective
When I, Marvin, went vegan 8 years ago I wasn’t aware of the health conscious gift I accepted into my life. The sacrifice of meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy products helped my body heal itself. My childhood asthma and early heart disease diagnosis, were gone, POOF! I had a newfound energy for life and a vision was born from the gratitude I experienced.
A Dream Was Born in My Mama’s Kitchen in West Baltimore
There’s something about my mama’s kitchen, it gave me the spark of creativity needed to start my fast healthy food journey. Aleah and I started our married life together in West Baltimore in the house I grew up in alongside my mama. While experimenting and trying to make a mock chicken, I discovered a thick piece of mushroom I was cooking tasted just like pork. After a taste test from my Charm City family community, it was clear I had discovered mushroom bacon. Shroomacon, vegan bacon, was born!
How a Health Conscious Lifestyle Leads Our Journey into the Future
We are proud members of our Baltimore community. Being health conscious and finding fresh fast healthy food proved to be a challenge when we lived in West Baltimore. Our philosophy is as we rise, we lift the Charm City community with us. With our Swap Out The Swine movement, we’re on the scene with fast healthy food options for this GREAT community.
You don’t need to be living a vegan lifestyle to enjoy Shroomacon plant-based bacon. No judgment here – You can have your crispy vegan bacon and eat it too. Mushroom bacon is where our health conscious conversation starts – we’re excited about our path ahead and bringing you #swapouttheswine

Health Conscious Shroom Bacon —
A Gateway to a Healthy Planet
Starting with a swap out of pork for a mushroom is a great small difference you can make for YOUR HEALTH, the planet, and all the cute piggies too. Meatless bacon is a great place to begin a health conscious journey. Did you know?
🍄 Adding mushrooms to your diet may improve cardio health
🍄 Shroom bacon is a low-calorie food
🍄 Mushrooms are a superfood that can help you get vital nutrients, boost your immunity and increase your fiber intake
It’s true, mushrooms naturally contain antioxidants. They are also full of vitamins and minerals to help your body thrive. Not to mention, they contain a good amount of protein.
There are soooooo MANY REASONS to add mushrooms to your diet. A health conscious journey is personal, but it just so happens that health conscious choices connect us to one another… and the planet. Adding Shroomacon plant-based bacon to your diet is an EASY swap out with nothing to sacrifice and everything to GAIN.
“Really is the best bacon substitute. I have tried many bacon substitutes and this is really the best. Not too salty or greasy and has a nice smoke flavor. Freezes nicely, then thaw and I cook on stove in nonstick pan. Consistenly good product and healthier than real bacon.” -Jen
You don’t need to be in Baltimore to try our meatless bacon. We ship all over the U.S.
So Why Swap Out Pork Bacon and Pork Products for Mushroom Bacon and Substitutes?
From personal health to swine farming, it turns out there’s a lot hidden about the hazards. Did you know?

The truth is, that pig farming is TOXIC to the...
Land, the water, and the air that the swine farm surrounds
People who work or live near a swine farm
Pigs that are factory-farmed in abusive conditions

“Very tasty. You don’t have to be vegan in order to eat healthier and still enjoy meat alternatives. I made a BLT (SHROOMACON, lettuce, tomato slices, avocado slices and mustard on wheat toast). What a treat that was. 🤗” -Cynthia
