Since the bacon won't be available to most of the donors out there, this is your way to get involved! Pledge $50 or more and you get to develop and name your very own flavor! Sky's the limit on this one. You'll get a personal consultation to discuss and name your personal recipe. Customers will know your name and maybe you'll create the future best-selling flavor! For those in the area, there is also the option of one free slab of your choice in lieu of creating a new flavor.

I too never received anything for my backing of this project. This is the second time I've been disappointed with a Kickstarter projects. 98% of the people are hard working, well meaning people, but it only takes a few bad apples to make a good thing go bad.

I agree with you Chris. Kickstarter should have a way to Kickout users that roll like this. It is not about the reward but it is all about the principle and the community that Kickstarter was built around. It is just... disrespectful.
Another project I backed that went completely M.I.A. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewhasse/edible-city-faces-of-the-food-revolution

So, this project was funded more than a year ago now and there still hasn't been any word on t-shirts for backers that selected that reward. I don't live in the pacific northwest and can't enjoy the bacon in person, so a t-shirt seemed like the next best thing. I'm happy to have helped with the funding, but it's hard to accept the sting of receiving nothing in return for my hard-earned cash. At this point I don't care so much about the t-shirt; it's the principle and the lack of respect for the spirit of Kickstarter that bums me out. This is not, after all, a charity. The Ethical Butcher's last update on shirts was in April of 2010, and he has since dropped out of communication completely on Kickstarter despite a flurry of activity on his blog.
Congratulations on the continued success of the business, but count me as a seriously disappointed funder who is now more gun-shy about which projects I support here. Funder beware!

FWIW... an interesting article in today's San Francisco Chronicle on the growth of artistically raised bacon:
