You could try the Arroyo Grande Meat Company (in the old village). It’s been a while since I’ve been in there but I thought they used to carry local meats.

of natural sandwich meats, like Niman Ranch ham, or even more artisnal products would be cool. I’d especially love to get some Serrano ham. It would be even greater if I could find someplace sorta close to where I live...

Interesting project! I don’t know much about your area but localharvest.org (a great resource for this sort of thing) lists Prather Ranch Meat Co at Ferry Plaza as one option. http://www.localharvest.org/farms/M19436
