Those who've been following our website know we introduced sheep to our farm this year. First and foremost, sheep increase farm sustainability. They weed, mow, and fertilize reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Sheep provide us with meat, wool and endless amusement!

Our meat lambs came to us from our friend Dakota, a 13-year-old livestock entrepreneur. We are confident that these lambs may be the best-treated, best-tasting, and best-priced premium lamb you'll ever find. In their early months they grazed the lush grasses in the shade of our certified-organic Golden Delicious apple trees. There they grew, frolicked and slept. Now they are grazing on certified organic alfalfa and grass in our hay field. Alfalfa makes an especially good pasture finished lamb.

Grass finished is important for more than great taste and lean texture. It is healthier for the sheep to graze and exercise naturally on pasture than to be fed grain (not a natural food for sheep) in confinement. Thus it is unnecessary to administer antibiotics (therapeutic or sub-therapeutic), hormones, or growth stimulants which can leave residues in the meat.

So the meat is healthier for you and higher in Omega-3, CLA, vitamins A, E than feedlot animals. This lamb also good for your carbon footprint since we are only 250 road-miles from Colorado Springs. Even better, the USDA-inspected processer is Homestead Meats, a rancher co-op located only 20 miles from us. This lamb is raised humanely and happy, the way we wish all our meat came to the table!
