Easter Ham
Posted by Christina Barkanic on 04/20 at 01:06 PM
Easter is just a few days away, and traditionally, most families feast on ham on this holiday. While the grocery store may seem like a convenient place to purchase your main course, those hams have probably been shipped across the country in plastic. Perhaps you should rethink your vendor this year.
Buying your meat from local farmers has many benefits. Not only is the meat healthier, but it tastes better, too. The animal, in this case a pig, is fed more meticulously and will have fewer added hormones and chemicals. Here are several local places to purchase your own heavenly ham this Easter.
Way Fruit Farm in Port Matilda is about 20 minutes outside of State College. Call or stop in to make your ham order by Wednesday, April 20th. Pickups may be made on Friday, April 22nd or Saturday, April 23rd.
Over the Moon Farm will host a Meat Sale at Tait Farm Foods on April 19th from 2:00pm-6:00pm and on April 22nd from 2:00pm-6:00pm.
Hogs Galore offers their costumers the finest quality meat. The Hogs Galore market has a variety of pork products including hickory-smoked ham, hickory-smoked bacon, sausage, smoked pork chops, and ham hocks.

Besides ham, did your research turn up any good, local sources for lamb? The supplies at the Meat Lab on campus have been very limited this year.

Unfortunately, Christina did not do any research on local lambs. But you may check out the meat sale at Tait Farm or Way Fruit Farm. Happy Easter to you and your family!
