Pork belly in the MD, VA, DC area??

Romain

I once read a recommendation of a place somewhat local to me that sold bellies.  If I remember correctly it was near Frederick.  Now that I am back home on a more or less semi-permanent basis, I'd like to do my own bacon again.  Anyone remember that name of the store.  I believe it was mentioned by one of the more regular posters here.

Gracias and Happy Holidays!!

I'm in the VA beach area and I can consistently source them at Costco

Eggcelsior

Costco in Frederick has them. Always sliced, but every so often they put full ones out. You can call ahead and ask to see and they will hold one for you before slicing it.

Hemps Meats. Jefferson, MD (5 miles south of Frederick off of 340 after the 15 split). Pork Belly was recently $4.39lb.  Great place for sides of beef, chops, pork butts, brisket, fresh ground hamburger etc...  In Mt Airy is Wagner Meats (so far, I have not tried their stuff).

Wagner's is great. That's where I go for brisket and whatnot. They don't typically have belly out but you can ask for it and they'll cut it for you.

(a nola thing, and it isn't true)

Harris Teeter in Gainesville, VA or Global Food in Manassas, VA are also good places to check.

Costco in Fairfax sells them pretty often. Sometimes sliced, sometimes whole.

Thanks guys.  Will try Hemp's and Wagner's.  Merry Christmas to all!!
