Ground Lamb in NJ

[juman23]

Does anybody know of a good place to buy ground lamb in central or northern New Jersey? I'm looking to buy about 5 lbs and need some quality meat.

THe absolute best lamb in the state is raised by Lou Tommaso at Pittenger Farms up near Allamuchy:

If you don't need anything that high end, you might try the many middle eastern butchers on Main Street where Clifton meets Paterson.

All of the supermarkets around me carry it, Shop Rite, Kings, A&P. But you can always request it at the meat counter in any supermarket.

If you don't have a local butcher nearby, even the meat dept at a supermarket will grind it for you...

do you have a butcher you deal with? i would think any butcher that carries lamb would grind it for you. i grind blade steaks at home when i want ground lamb. they're cheap and suit my needs.
