Locally grown.
My sheep are born and raised high in the Catskill mountains of Delaware County, New York. 73% of all lamb sold in the US is imported from Australia or New Zealand. This is so unecessary. Buying local lamb supports small farms, rural agricultural economies and increases national food security.
Delicious mild flavor.
My flock is primarily White Dorper “hair sheep”. Hair sheep are bred exclusively for their delicious mild tasting meat. Imported lamb often comes from “wool sheep” whose taste can be tainted by lanolin in the wool.
Grass fed.
The diverse grasses, wildflowers and herbs found on open pasture are naturally the best forage for healthy sheep. During the winter my flock is fed with a localy sourced, nutrient dense organic hay.
Pasture raised.
They spend their days grazing stress free, protected from predators by a dedicated livestock guardian donkey. Happy sheep are healthy sheep!
Rotationally grazed.
When rotationally grazed, studies have shown sheep are carbon negative for the environment – meaning they reduce more carbon greenhouse gasses than they produce.
No hormones, vaccines or antibiotics.
The lamb I sell for meat is grown on clean air, water, grass and light. Not much else at all.
USDA inspected.
Seems like the right thing to do.
