Why Choose Grass Fed??
Choose Grass Fed Lamb: Taste the Natural Difference, Support Sustainable Agriculture
Nutritional Benefits
Lower in saturated fats compared to conventionally raised lamb, making it a heart healthy option.
Typically contains higher levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and is often richer in essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B, zinc and iron, compared to other alternatives
Ethical and Environmental
Peachester Fresh lamb is raised in an environmentally sustainable manner. Being pasture raised promotes healthier soils for our paddocks and reduces the environmental impact of farming
Animal Welfare
Our lambs are raised on pasture, allowing them to graze and roam freely, which can lead to better animal welfare conditions compared to animals raised in confined feedlots.
Taste and Quality
Many people prefer the taste of grass fed lamb, as the diet of grass and natural forage can result in a more distinctive and complex flavour.
Usually a firmer texture compared to grain fed lamb with more earthy notes. The additional exercise from grazing can result in meat that is slightly leaner and less marbled.
Our animal raising philosophy is based on soil care and fertility first, which enhances our ecosystem. This underpinning allows us to raise our animals as part of a biodiverse polyculture. These methods support and complement each other, and make better use of soil nutrients without chemicals or other artificial inputs, to ensure sustainability. We improve our pastures by using a rotational grazing system that works alongside our chickens, which enjoy the shorter grass and picking through what our lamb leave behind. We then reseed the paddocks in preparation to ensure that our animals have access to a multi species, lush pasture year round. The best quality soil and grasses mean the best quality lamb on your table.
We select only the finest livestock, use low stress stock handling practices, and our husbandry methods make sure each of our animals are respected, happy, healthy, and well cared for. We focus on quality not quantity, to provide our community with excellent produce. You can then be assured that you are receiving consistently amazing local produce.
Once you have tried our grass fed and pasture raised lamb, we’re confident that you will taste the difference. When you buy from us, you have the peace of mind knowing that your food is local, ethical, and delicious. Try it and see for yourself!
