Moe: Quite a few places mail-order Berkshire pork. Also, in the Bay Area, you can usually find it at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco, and Whole Foods. Some of those more high-end grocery stores might also special order it for you if you ask them ahead of time.

Interesting point, Rena. Not uncommon in the high-tech world and understandable. The kind of person it takes to create a company is different from what it takes to run a large company and not many can make that change. Each of these people had the opportunity to sell the company — but their name had become part of the company brand.

Moe, I’ve found a very small amt of Kurobuta pork at the Nijiya markets, however it’s usually ground or in paper thin slices for shabu-shabu and not in nice big chunks. I had no idea that Berkshire was the same as Kurobuta. Would love to get my hands on a Berkshire ham for the holidays!

Fascinating article, as usual, Carolyn. I will have to pop by Mollie Stones’ meat dept. Had no idea that Aidells was no longer behind the Aidells sausages. Like Niman no longer part of Niman Ranch or Burt no longer part of Burt’s Bees, huh? hmmmm.
