In the early-morning hours in late spring 2013, Jason and Melanie Schoendorfer gathered a cooler full of homemade bacon and sausage, several dozen eggs, and a few cases of fluffy rolls and headed for the weekly Pinecrest Gardens Farmers Market. The two didn't know that five years later, they would be one of Miami-Dade's premier producers of ground and cured pork products, running a full meat counter in Palmetto Bay. Over the years, their offerings have included breakfast sausage, smoked sausage, and classic bacon.
