Lamb is Restocked!

Warm up the grill for a delicious and nutritious dinner! These pasture-raised lamb chops and Merquez lamb sausage are fresh from the butcher and perfect for tossing on the grill to enjoy for a weekend cookout.

Our animals are raised humanely and naturally at our small family farm, without the use of hormones or antibiotics, and packaged by trusted local butchers providing the best quality healthy food for your family.

Come by the farm stand on Indian Boundary Rd. in Chesterton from Wednesday through Saturday to browse our pasture-raised meat and farm-fresh produce.

As a reminder, our store is an immunocompromised safe zone and masks are required if you make the choice to shop in person. We also offer pre-ordering on our website with curbside pickup if you prefer to not mask. See you soon!
