I’m not advocating, but one can buy grass-fed organically produced beef suet through the mail. One source that I see online sells it for about $7 / lb., which is not more than one might pay for certain brands of organic peanut butter (which are typically non-hydrogenated, so no need to wonder

Don't know if they will have what you are looking for, but you could try Pine Tree Farms in Interlaken, where they make suet blocks, logs etc. You have to go during business hours but they are usually very helpful. On Sun, Jan 9, 2022 at 9:39 AM Peter Saracino wrote: > > Folks im looking for a
