| If you cook with pork lard, where do you buy it? I once saw in giant but it was terribly salty. Anywhere else I could buy good quality pork lard? |

| Since commercial lards tend to have stabilizers I generally render it myself when making something else. |

| I get it delivered from south mountain creamery along with eggs/milk/cream. |

| Springfield butcher sometimes has it. |

| Any farmers market with a butcher will usually have some. It’s not on the list of cuts. Ask. |

| Wegmans has it in the refrigerated section, I think where the butter is but on a high shelf. It's good quality. |

This. I get mine from the Smith Meadows stand at the Dupont Circle farmers market. |

+1 You can also ask your butcher if they’ll sell you pork fat (unrendered) cheaply; I once got like 8lbs for free when I asked at the right time. |

| Ask at Wagshalls. |

I think one of the stalls inside Eastern Market might have it, and, if not, they can get it for you.
I agree with the suggestion to check Latino markets and the grocery stores in neighborhoods with Latino residents. So the Giant in Columbia Heights might have it — even if the Giant in Van Ness might not. I remember looking for lard to make Cuban bread a few years ago. I’m pretty sure that I finally found it at Eastern Market. |

It is a crime we replaced lard with vegetable shortening for pastries.
It is entirely a food manufacturer's brainwashing of the country. Lard is so much more superior than fake highly processed garbage like hydrogenated vegetable oils. |

| I am pretty sure that Butcher's Alley in Bethesda sells it. |
