You'd think that should be obvious, but apparently for others "pasture" can just be a factory barn full of straw or patch of dirt.

We take care of our farms by regularly rotating where our animals graze. 

Most conventionally raised lamb (and beef - even lots of grass fed beef) is raised on feedlots. Conventional farming practices degrade the soil and pollute Minnesota rivers and streams.

By moving our herd to fresh pasture on a regular basis, we are taking care of the land we farm. In fact, our farming actually builds topsoil, sequestering carbon and protecting local streams along the way.

Grass fed means our lamb is fed hay, pasture, minerals and water. That's it. Exactly what you'd expect. 

You'd be surprised to learn what the industry feeds and still counts as "grass fed" (hint: it isn't grass). Cows and lamb may be fed industry waste, sawdust, candy -- and they still count as "grass fed". 

Even from reputable companies, you can be sure the fresh "grass fed" animals from December to May weren't finished on grass (since it was winter). The health benefits of grass fed degrade if the animals are finished on hay.

Others engineer things to raise animals as fast and cheap as possible, usually through cutting corners.

We rely on slower growth and healthier food. Using only slow-growth genetics, combined with the artful care we provide, really makes a difference. Simply put: Our animals take longer to raise.

All the extra time we invest means our lamb costs a just little more. We think you'll agree it's worth it.

Zero. Ziltch. Nada.

We never use any type of growth drug. 

Raised on lush pasture, our lambs are healthy and never would require routine antibiotics like most others which are raised in unsanitary conditions.
