I would divide it up and freeze part and refrigereate the rest. It can go
rancid anyway, but much, much slower.

I'd keep it in the refrigerator, it's not that hydrogenated stuff -
it's natural. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lard

Do you have anyone you could share it with? If I was closer to you,
I'd volunteer because I'd use it for pie crusts and make pies just
like grandma used to make.

Do you have freezer space? You could make a bunch of crusts now in
anticipation of a pie laden holiday season.... or give them away as
pre-holiday gifts to people you see but don't normally give gifts to.
Flour is cheap and the FP method of crust making is fast.

I agree. Divide it into portions you can use within a few weeks or
less and freeze the rest for later use.
