- 1). Plan ahead. Depending on when or where you will be serving your suckling pig, you might need to give yourself enough time to pick up the pig or order it ahead of time. Avoid waiting until the last minute before the occasion.
- 2). Inquire at local Bronx markets and butcher shops. It's best to start as locally as possible when searching for a fresh suckling pig, as freshness is an important aspect of choosing the animal. If your neighborhood has cultural meat markets, they are almost guaranteed to have fresh pigs on hand. If they don't, they might be able to order one and have it within days.
- 3). Search the Internet if there are no nearby markets. Entering keywords such as "suckling pig bronx ny" will yield plenty of results, and most will be locally-based businesses. Phone ahead, and inquire with the markets to save yourself time, effort and transportation fare.
- 4). Order your pig from an online merchant. If for any reason you cannot find any available pigs at local Bronx markets or they cannot place an order for one, there are farms and markets that sell and ship via Internet order.
- 5). Store your suckling pig effectively. Ask the grocer or market that you purchase the pig from about care and storage instructions, and follow these until you are ready to prepare it. If you order online, the merchant often will include these instructions.
