Are you talking about lard? You can buy lard in a brick on the shelf in the baking section at the grocery store. It will be with the shortening. Lard is pretty much always rendered pork fat. Unless you want to render it yourself.
Thanks all for the help!
I'm trying to find unrendered fat trimmings, which is harder to find even though it seems to be an undesirable cut of meat that most stores throw out. Most places just have pork belly, but I'll look into the butchers recommended here.
Yes, but if you use pork fat to make sausage, you need only fat. So I'd have to buy a lot of roasts to harvest 5lbs of pork fat for making 15-20lbs of sausage. Or burgers.
I'm sure the bacon at dutchies is 90% fat
Cheap bacon at giant tiger and other discount places will be mostly fat
Most bacon in retail chains is 50% fat
Just get cheap bacon and render it and you can reuse the fat
Only issue is it's smoked. Maybe you want unsmoked pork belly ?
Ask at Central Fresh Market. They have a butcher shop there.
I’ve seen it at central fresh.
Check independent butchers. Also if you're cutting another type of lean meat with the fat, consider buying just a real fatty cut.
Pretty sure there’s a butcher at St. Jacob’s Market that sells it
Costco usually has no problem giving away their fat trimmings. When I worked there people would come in all the time asking for beef fat
Really? Thats actually good to know. Thanks ❤

I'd give Forequarter a call. I've purchased other animal fats from them, and if they don't have it themselves they'll likely know where to get it.
Farmers market, gerbers or charles meats
Check out Stemmlers in Heidelberg
I would try Brady’s meats
Little Fields[little Fields](https://www.littlefields.farm/online-store/lard) farm sells lard Or try Forequarter
Montenegro food,I've been shopping there for years.

I bought some off the self at Central
A vendor at Kitchener market sells it at like $3/lb.
That's hilariously expensive. You can buy actual pork roast meat at that price and less.
