Grass-Fed Native Lamb from the Yorkshire Dales
For generations, shepherds have let their flocks freely roam the wildly beautiful Yorkshire Dales, much as our farmers and smallholders continue to do today. Working in harmony with nature, they carefully select native breed lamb suited to this unique and rugged terrain. The Dales are a place of beauty and bounty, but their pastures are not for the faint-hearted.
Only the hardiest free-roaming sheep breeds, such as the iconic Swaledale, Lonk, Dalesbred, and Herdwick lamb, are suited to this challenging environment. These resilient breeds, well adapted to the cold and rough terrain, migrate vast distances between valleys and hilltops, foraging as they go. Their natural diet of lush grasses, wildflowers, and herbs, combined with the demands of the landscape, produces a smaller dark-fleshed lamb with distinctive, rich flavours.
The unique character of this grass-fed lamb reflects the heathers, herbs, and wild botanicals of their environment, offering a truly exceptional eating experience. Choose to buy lamb online and enjoy the superior flavour and quality of lamb ethically raised through sustainable lamb farming in the Yorkshire Dales.
