Certified Organic Grass Fed Lamb

Certified Organic Grass-fed Icelandic Lamb

Though famous throughout the world for wool production, the Icelandic breed is predominately grown for meat in Iceland. Since the cool and wet climate precludes the production of most grains in Iceland, the breed has been selected to bring the meat lambs to slaughter weight off of the summer and fall pastures.

The Icelandic breed is considered a mountain breed, and historically mountain breeds have been milder in flavor, and leaner than the lowland breeds. The meat is indeed very tender with a mild flavor, and is generally described as gourmet meat. With the leaner, European style carcass, and the mild flavor, Icelandic lamb can appeal to the palate of even those consumers who avow they "just don't like lamb."

"Free-range, grass-fed Icelandic lamb is exceptionally fine grained and mild tasting; it is prized by chefs..." Saveur Magazine, Sept. 5, 2009

Icelandic Farm Products - Certified Organic Grass-fed Icelandic Lamb

Each fall we offer CERTIFIED ORGANIC LAMB for sale. Our gourmet Icelandic lamb is totally GRASS FED, no grain or other supplements.

In September, we will send out cut sheets to our fall lamb customers. Guides to lamb cuts are below. Contact us for more details. Tweet

$11.50 per pound, based on hanging weight. Hanging weight is the weight of the meat after the initial skinning and cleaning process. Actual hanging weights will not be known until the lamb is sent to the butcher, but usually range from 30-45 pounds for a whole lamb. Processed weight (what the customer takes home) is roughly 85-95% of the hanging weight.

We also have select cuts available at farmers' markets, or call us for purchase at the farm.
