Mary's Land Farm 

https://www.maryslandfarm.com/store/

This organic farm outside Ellicott City is a fun farm destination. In addition to lard from pastured pigs, the have lots of other great products such as pastured-raised chickens and eggs, a B&B on the property, and summer kid's program.

Click on "pork products in 1 lb. packages or larger"... and then scroll down to find lard. But I'm told this is just a list of what they usually carry.... and that you will need to go to the property to pick up the products. I don't think they ship.

Bob has wonderful organic lard... and lots of it. Not sure if he will ship, but the quality is fantastic. I visited the farm and he showed me around. See the green "grass" the pigs are chomping on? Well, that is some special winter mix of sprouted grains Bob grows for the pigs in the winter when they aren't able to forage in the forests and fields.
They have a Facebook page, so if you Like it, you will be able to message Bob about a visit.

Many Hands Organic Farm make their lard from back fat and leaf lard combined from their own pigs or those from Misty Brook Farm (www.mistybrook.com), the neighboring farm that is also organic. They render the lard on a wood cook stove. They are certified organic, have lard in stock year round. All are pasture raised, half pasture half wooded acreage.  They are fed organic whey from neighbors cows, and supplemented with nature's best organic creamer grain, which is soy, corn, and mineral based.

Heritage Farms Northwest is a small pasture farm that raises heritage Red Wattle hogs and sells both pure leaf lard and regular (back fat) lard. Both are USDA rendered, inspected and legal for sale nationwide.

The owner says the farm is not organic, but their hogs are free of all antibiotics, vaccinations, feed additives (no Paylean allowed on the farm), nor are they fed bakery waste or any other post consumer "cheap feed". They are pasture raised, never confined. Their fields are not chemically sprayed or fertilized. Ninety percent of the feed is grown within 15 miles of our farm.
