Conmee hog farmer Shaun Groulx sells leaf lard a dairy free pork fat for pie crusts and pan frying. He says interest in traditional cooking grows and notes leaf lard has no harmful trans fat and may be lower in saturated fat than butter. The Enders Road farm raises 50 Landrace-Duroc pigs and uses the whole hog. Information is available on Sunset Country Farms Facebook.
