Pasture-Raised Lamb Shares

Grass-finished, rotationally grazed, and beautifully butchered. Every price you see is all-in — processing, cut & wrap, and packaging included. No surprise fees at pickup.

No Hidden Fees

What “All-In” Means

Most farms advertise by hanging weight and let processing fees pile up at pickup. We price every share by finished packaged weight — the actual meat in your freezer — with everything baked in.

Included in Every Share

  • Kill fee & base processing
  • Standard cut & wrap (bone-in or boneless, your choice)
  • Vacuum sealing & labeling
  • Cut sheet consultation with us
  • Farm pickup or market-day pickup at any of our markets

Before You Reserve

Quick Answers

Why is the estimated total a range?

Yield varies slightly per animal. A whole lamb typically packages out to 25–35 lbs of meat depending on cut choices (bone-in vs boneless, ground vs roast). We charge for the actual packaged weight at pickup.

When is the balance due?

At pickup. We'll send you the exact packaged weight and final invoice a few days before your share is ready.

Are your lambs grass-fed?

Our lambs are pasture-raised and grass-finished. They spend their lives on grass, with a small amount of supplemental grain used only when we move them between pastures. The result is the mild, clean taste of a majority-grass diet without the stress of being entirely grain-free.

Can I change tiers after I reserve?

Yes, up until we finalize your cut sheet together (usually 1–2 weeks before processing). After that, changes may not be possible.

Can I split a share with someone?

Absolutely — splitting a whole lamb is a great way to save roughly $1/lb overall compared to buying a half. Just let us know in the notes and we'll package it accordingly.

Does it come frozen?

Yes — everything is vacuum-sealed, labeled with the cut name and pack date, and flash-frozen right after processing. All pickup and delivery is frozen only. Properly stored, your lamb will keep excellent quality for 12+ months.

How much freezer space will I need?

Lamb is much more compact than pork. Rough guidance:

Whole lamb (≈25–35 lbs): about 1 cu ft in a chest freezer, or 1.5 cu ft in an upright.
Half lamb (≈12–18 lbs): about 0.5 cu ft in a chest, or 0.75 cu ft in an upright.

A standard fridge-freezer compartment fits a whole lamb comfortably.

How do I get it home?

Bring one or two large coolers with ice or ice packs, especially if you're driving more than 30 minutes. Frozen vacuum-sealed packages hold temperature well for a few hours in a good cooler. Heritage share customers get free home delivery within 60 miles, so no transport planning needed.
