Our Sourcing Policy

At The Foragers' Farm, we’re proud to bring you premium, grass-fed lamb meat raised with care, integrity, and a deep respect for the land and animals. Our small family farm is at the heart of everything we do, where we raise a limited flock of sheep using sustainable, pasture-based methods. Because our flock is small and thoughtfully managed, we can’t always meet demand with our own lambs alone. To ensure a consistent supply of the highest-quality lamb meat, we partner with a select group of trusted local farmers who share our values and commitment to excellence.

Our Standards

Whether it’s lamb from our own pastures or from our partner farmers, we hold every step of the process to the same rigorous standards:
  • 100% Grass-Fed: Our sheep are raised on lush, natural pastures, and high-quality hay in the non-growing season, free from grain or artificial feed. This ensures tender, flavorful meat while supporting animal health and environmental sustainability.
  • Humane Treatment: We prioritize the well-being of our animals, providing them with a stress-free life on open pasture, ample space to roam, and compassionate care from start to finish.
  • No Hormones or Antibiotics: Our lambs are raised naturally, without the use of growth hormones or unnecessary antibiotics, keeping the meat pure and wholesome.
  • Sustainable Practices: We work with the land, not against it. Our grazing methods promote soil health, biodiversity, and a thriving ecosystem for future generations.
  • Local Focus: Whenever possible, we source from farmers within our region to support our community and reduce the environmental impact of transportation.

 

Our Partnership Process

Because our own flock is small, we carefully choose partner farmers who align as closely as possible with our methods and philosophy. We personally vet each farm we work with and ensure their practices mirror our own. While no two farms are identical, we prioritize those that emphasize grass-fed, humane, and sustainable lamb production. Transparency is key—we’re happy to share more about our partners with you upon request.

Why It Matters

For us, this isn’t just about raising lamb—it’s about doing it right. By keeping our flock small, we can give each animal the attention it deserves, but it also means we rely on like-minded farmers to help us bring our lamb to your table. This approach allows us to maintain the quality and integrity you expect from The Foragers' Farm, while scaling responsibly to meet your needs.
We believe you can taste the difference in every bite: lamb that’s raised with care, rooted in tradition, and connected to the land. Thank you for supporting our small farm and the local farmers who help make our mission possible.
