Da-Le Ranch

I recently started buying exceptionally flavorful pork and lamb from Da-Le Ranch at the Saturday morning Little Italy Mercado. I find that supermarket pork is often dry and tasteless, and lamb rarely tastes like lamb, but the meats I've purchased from Dave have been terrific. After talking with Dave I could tell that they obviously care about their animals and treat them with the respect they deserve at Da-Le.

I enjoy being able to purchase my meat from a local, small producer and have found that I can even get non-standard cuts like a whole side of fresh bacon, hog organs, and a saddle of lamb... I just had to ask, and Dave has gone out of his way to get them for me. They say it's a good idea to get to know your Butcher, but I think it's even better to get to know your Farmer!
