We have a small flock of purebred Suffolk sheep with strong Brittish bloodlines . You may recognize the familiar black face along with a short stocky frame which helps produce great lambs for meat or for crossing with other breeds.

We now have whole or half lambs ( cut up) available in the shop. We will also have a limited number of individual cuts including leg and shoulder roasts, chops, ground, ribs and shanks . We are well stocked with lamb sausages. Contact us to place an order or for more information.

All of our sheep and lambs are humanely raised . They enjoy being outside grazing and breathing the salty air in the pasture overlooking the Northumberland Strait from early spring to late fall. The sheep and lambs are on a rotating grazing system so they are always being moved to fresh grass.

We will be attending the Lunenburg Farmers Market and the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market once a month beginning in January.

Our next trip to Lunenburg will be Thursday April 3. We bring an assortment of our wool and sheepskin products and we will have some lamb!!!

We will be at the Halifax Seaport Market next on Saturday April 12th.

We will be bringing our lamb to the Lunenburg market. This will include sausages, ground, chops, and roasts. It will all be frozen. If you are interested in purchasing lamb at the market let us know in advance and we will be sure to save some for you.

Please let us know in advance if there are any of our wool or sheepskin products you would like us to bring along to markets.
