Dickson's Farmstand Meats

Pulled pork doesn't keep as well as many of the carefully curated artisanal meats, but then, it's not meant to.

It's the star of the weekday-only lunch menu, a ready-to-eat showcase for Dickson's locally sourced beef, lamb, pork, goat, and poultry. Though the brief menu may change from day to day, this very juicy pulled pork sandwich ($9), zinged with a crunchy, spicy slaw, seems to be dependably available. Admire it, then have your way with it.

Also shown below: boar sausages (about a quarter-pound per link, at $10 per pound), some looser-knit, suffused by chili and cumin, some more-taut, with a touch of fennel; and sausages on the grill during one of Dickson's many appearances at the New Amsterdam Market. Don't overlook the shop's standout selection of condiments; on one recent visit I noted mustard from Bauer's, cane syrup and molasses from Steen's, pickled watermelon rind from Old South, and piri-piri sauce from a small producer in Asbury Park.

Love these guys—got a lovely lamb belly and really nice lamb riblets from them last week. Stuff was moving fast—crowded at the end of the day.

Dave, you mention pickled watermelon rind from Old South. That stuff is amazing! I'm glad you find it notable. Notable also, are Old South's Tomolives, little pickled tomatoes for use in martinis.

Just realized that while I was here I ought to comment on Dickson's. We've bought their pork on several occasions and just find it "porkier." These people are great -- and their prices aren't out of line the way some other specialty butchers' are.
