Lamb for Sale

Also, just in time for some special holiday meals, the farm is taking orders for lamb.    For a whole lamb you will get approximately 30 - 35 pounds of meat, half lamb approximately 15 - 20 pounds. Lamb is priced at $12 per pound; weighed as finished, packaged product. Each cut will be individually vacuum sealed and frozen. Butchering will be done by Animal Welfare Approved Warrington Meats in Dillsburg, PA on November 6th. And, you can customize the cuts you would like.  Processing takes approximately two weeks - finished meat will be available sometime in late November.
