we have one farm here in Minneapolis that does pasture their pigs and sells lard at some co-ops, check the refridgerated section, it won't be on the shelf if it i real, pastured pig lard. also there is a butcher here who renders her own lard from pastured pig fat. but you definitly have to ask around a lot. the pie looks amazing annemarie! im going to try your pie dough recipe today but with strawberry/rhubbarb inside! emily- mpls real food lover’s last blog post..Indian-spiced Coconut Milk Rice Pudding

Megan – You need to buy it from a farmer. You can’t buy it in the store — the stuff they have there is hydrogenated. Ask the farmer if s/he can sell you some suet or pig fat. You can render it yourself — it’s easy! I’ll write a blog post soon on how to render lard. If you don’t know a local farmer, you can look on eatwild.com or localharvest.com. I order mine from a farm in Oregon that I found on localharvest.

Where do you buy the lard for your crust, and is there a brand that you would recommend? I don’t know how to tell if it is “real lard” and if it came from pig that were not fed gmo soy or corn.

I love your blog!
