        <content>I know...I know...it's last minute. We try to eat only local meat, humanly raised. We're looking to buy a ham, and I know Lionette's is sold out. I need some houndly-help as to where I may purchase a ham, or even a turkey last minute. Any help would be great! Happy holidays!

      <content>Whole Foods in Brighton has Misty Knoll turkeys, from central Vermont (near Middlebury) -- my favorite turkey, hands down, by far. Not too, too far away, so maybe still technically "local"? $3.99/lb, IIRC.</content>

      <content>You might contact Blood Farm in Groton - they have their own hams.
Blood Farm
94 W Main
West Groton, MA 01472
(978) 448-6669&#8206;

I also used to get wonderful pork products from Wilson Farm in Lexington - they came from Harrington's of Vermont. I only recall smoked pork loin and ham steaks, but soooo tender. You might call Wilson's and Russo's to see what they have.</content>

      <content>Don't know if it matters to you, but the hams from Harrington's contain nitrates.</content>

      <content>might be too last minute, but you could contact Stillman's at the Turkey Farm (google will give you the info)  I know that they were pushing holiday hams in their email newsletter.  Call them and talk to someone in person (they've been not great about checking messages).

      <content>On the same road  as Verrill Farm in Concord is Backyard Birds. They are now selling their own pork and you can find out the price etc. at  peteandjensbackyardbirds.com.
I got an email from them last week saying they have 1/2 hams. They grow them and have them smoked in CT.</content>
