Our specialty is growing and finishing lambs on 14 rotational-grazing pastures that contain a careful selection of grasses with legumes that produce nitrogen and eliminate the need for commercial fertilizers.
Eating grass and legumes is the natural way for
sheep. It creates a truly superior eating experience and produces a
healthy meat as well. Meat from pastured lambs has less total fat,
less saturated fat, less cholesterol and fewer calories. It has more
vitamin E, more beta-carotene, more vitamin C, and even more
importantly, has two health-promoting fats called omega-3 fatty
acids and “conjugated linoleic acid,” or CLA.
To further ensure the health and well being our
lambs, We also provide free choice kelp mixed with
minerals.
Our lambs are also guaranteed to be antibiotic and
hormone free.

Latest Lamb News!
East Fork Farm is now certified Animal Welfare Approved
The Animal Welfare Approved
program and food label promote the well-being of animals and the
sustainability of humane family farms. We unite conscientious
consumers with farmers who raise their animals with compassion.
Animal Welfare Approved was recently lauded by the World Society for
the Protection of Animals as having the highest animal welfare
standards of all third-party certifiers.
East Fork Farm Partners With Other Regional Sheep Farmers!
Our local lamb business is
growing at a rate that exceeds what we can produce on our own farm.
To help meet our goal to provide a high quality, consistent product
that is locally grown, we are presently creating relationships with
sustainable farmers in the southeast region who raise the same
variety of sheep and who follow the same strict grazing techniques
and healthy practices as East Fork Farm.
