Buy lamb directly from the farmer. This is how it works:
You buy the living animal. You can take the weened lamb to raise as livestock - or - we finish pasture raising the lamb to slaughter on the farm in early November. We work with itinerant slaughterer Mary Lake. On-farm slaughter is the most ethical end of life for these beautiful animals that we raise and deeply respect (learn more here). On-farm slaughter is also called the "personal use" exemption from inspection. Customers assume the liability for the quality of the meat of the animal they own, which they decide to have slaughtered on their behalf, on the farm where it was raised. Fools Farm provides a clean site for slaughter, removes the offal, and retains the hides. Our customers are the livestock owners and are invited to be present on slaughter day. The lamb is butchered at Roma's Butchery. Customers pick-up their meat at Roma's, with their certificate of ownership that follows the lamb on slaughter day to the butcher. |
