Also available are quartered bone-in hams (3-4 pound average) from Together Farm
in Mondovi, WI. These hogs are raised on pasture, woodlot, and organic
grain. Hams contain no nitrate of any kind. $6.99 per pound.
And we will have a couple more lamb legs arriving FRESH on Thursday. Extremely flavorful and chemical-free, raised by Duane and Deanna Klindworth of Lamb-a-Lot Acres (Augusta, WI). Bone-in: $11.49 per pound. Butterfly-cut: $11.99 per pound.
Come and get it--or e-mail Nik at nik@justlocalfood.com with all your meaty requests.
Best regards,
Nik

Cast iron cookware!
Lodge cast iron cookware is a great gift for the chef in your family... or yourself! And it's now available at Just Local Food.Cast iron fortifies your food with iron, is a chemical free alternative to non-stick pans, can last for
generations when well cared for and transfers easily from stove top to the oven.
Some of us think everything tastes better cooked in cast iron. Fried eggs, roasted vegetables, omelets, braised pork chops, grass-fed beef steaks, stroganoff and nearly everything else you can think of!
What do YOU cook in cast iron?
