Jesse
we'll be in La Paz in a few weeks. Is it possible for us to buy lamb from this producer while we are there? If so, could you give me a clue as where
to find them?
Had "LAMB" thread here a while ago, but never got any definitive answer. |
He has a ranch on the road to Todos Santos, so far i don't think he sells to the public but you can stop by the restaurant and i can show you the
cuts, then we place and order and you just show up and pick it up.

Guess I misplaced the invitation.

If you are a baja part time resident or veteran, it would be worth it to do some asking around your local area and find out which ranches have lamb,
goat, burro etc. and get hooked up. For example there is a ranch around sta.rosalia and they will send fresh lamb out on the mail truck to us whenever
we want and we know some ranchers who will do the same etc. Also excellent sonora beef is readily available at some good carnicerias...for much
cheaper than costco too.
The very best BBQ's I've had have been with freshly "obtained" meat...the lamb in Agua Verde was outstanding!!

I remember a post with the names of various cuts of beef and pork in both English and Spanish...can anyone remind me where to find that chart?
my current search is for pork shoulder, but printing out and saving the reference would be nice. I'll do that this time...
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

Some of the best tenderest beef I've ever had came out of Mom & Pop Carnicerias in Baja.

Maybe you could pay the local producer what Costco charges and suggest he charge 10 per cent more than that to his other customers. Maybe that way he
can stay in business, grow his business and make some sheep cheese too. Support and promote local food producers or there won't be any.

Local producers sell regular Lamb at 50 pesos a kilo. This guy sells for about 3 times as that. So i think he is making good money and still managing
to be cheaper than Costco who brings Lamb from New Zealand.
