Mom2A&M Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Where do people find ground pork? All I can find in conventional meatloaf mix at my grocery store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 We used localharvest.org to find a local farmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The only place I have been able to find just plain ground pork is *gasp* Wal Mart! Everywhere else seems to be sausage mixes of one sort or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Carmosino Beougher Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I've found it at Kroger, but at my store they don't keep it with the other pork cuts and meats, they keep it in the frozen section where they have the premade sausage patties, etc. I had to ask where it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bet Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Whole Foods has it, if you don't see it in the meat case, just ask, they will grind some up for you. I've been going to the DeKalb farmers market because they carry Berkshire pork. This week I am trying their sweet sausage mix to make my breakfast patties (I mix in shredded sweet potatoes).

CaseyD Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Where in Illinois are you? I'm in St. Louis, MO and we have access to a local farmer who does naturally raised pork. I'm wondering, if you're close enough to St. Louis, you could get pork from this guy. Here's the website for the farmer: http://www.toadspigs.com/index.html Also, he has very good prices on bulk meats. We started buying half hogs from him and we get them at around $1.50-$2 a pound. That might be worth a drive for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole foods is a good 45 min drive and I don't go often since I'm usually with two toddlers. I need to do more research into local farms...St. Louis is too far, I'm far west subs of Chicago.

KellyF Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I second the www.localharvest.org site as a reference. There is also another one: www.eatwild.com Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Maryann Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Walmart has ground pork. Publix does, too, but it is with the ground beef not in the pork section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaati Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I know this is a late reply but I'm in Chicago and our Dominick's has ground pork, if there's one near you it's worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at YDFM last night! They don't list ingredients on their sausage mixes so I didn't get any. I'm afraid their sausage has added sugars like the ones in regular grocery stores.

Summer Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Online at US Wellness meats, I was just looking into this the other day too and wondering the same thing. I am in Colorado and it is hard to find. I really want clean pork breakfast sausage and I also noticed US Wellness meats has that too, and clean. Whole Foods always adds no good oils to any 'flavored' sausage. http://www.grasslandbeef.com/StoreFront.bok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid their sausage has added sugars like the ones in regular grocery stores. Hi Delaine, yeah, the saugage was probably not compliant, and it was way too spicy for me. I am back to the plain ground pork. I buy 2 lbs and freeze one. I've been adding my own spices so I know what's in it and I can control the taste. For the sausages, if you want to see the ingredients, ask them and they will print off a label for you. I did that with the lamb sausage. The French one is compliant, but the Greek one wasn't (feta cheese) but it is DELISH for when you are not on a W30. I really scored there on Sunday. For grass fed beef, I got 2 porterhouses, a London Broil and a filet. I bought 6 turkey wings for my husband, 2 lbs of ground pork, a rack of lamb (I got 2 meals out of it) and a duck breast. Very affordable and it was all great quality meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The have farm stands and they also go to farmer's markets. I even ordered half of a pig to arrive in February when my summer stock of pastured meats starts to dwindle. US Wellness is an excellent option, otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 For sure I need to look locally for some pork options. I know they are here. Thanks Nico! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyRunner Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I live in Texas and shop at HEB. I found ground pork with the other ground protein (beef, turkey, chicken.) It is cheap! $1.99/lb. I made my own breakfast sausage today using Martha Stewart's recipe and it is AWESOME. I will never go back to premade sausage at the store!

Everything I found premade in the case at Kroger has sugar/msg sounding things in it. I may have to give that a try over the Whole Foods Sausage which costs over double that! Thanks for the tip.
