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

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 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.

Ask at Wagshalls.

+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.

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

PanAm on 14th sells it.

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

Try Spanish markets

Thanks all. Will check farmers markets next time.

Springfield butcher sometimes has it.

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

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?
