Does anyone know of a source for grass fed lamb? I'm thinking about buying a half or whole lamb & I know the season is upon us. Does anyone know anybody who sells lamb?

You may want to call the Natick Organic Farm and as if they sell them.

Green Meadows Farm in Hamilton does lamb shares. I don't know if they have any left, but it's worth a phone call.

Not super-local (they're in New York), but you can get various cuts/types of lamb from the Eight O'Clock Ranch at Good Health in Hanover and Quincy. They also have meat CSAs and various ordering options on their website, which I believe is www.eightoclockranch.com.

We've done their CSA before and it really is wonderful. I always forget to renew in time so we end up buying a lot of their stuff at Good Health. Eight O'Clock, Plato's Harvest (chicken, beef and sometimes pork) and Oake Knoll (beef and humanely-raised veal) are about the only places I buy meat.

I get my meat from Chestnut Farms and their CSA- it is fantastic! Lamb is not in season now but soon!
You can also buy the meat at Farmers Markets in Newton, Dedham and Natick!

Thanks for the replies.

I just checked Natick Farm. They don't do lamb.

We actually have a meat share from Chestnut Farms but we want more lamb so were thinking of getting a lamb share.

I"ll check the others out this weekend.

Colchester Farm in Plympton occasionally has grass-fed lamb available. It is usually a pre-order type deal. Probably wouldn't work for now, but maybe in the future.

Yes, from a place that is in the Western part of the state. It's called Crescent Moon Farm.

They will have the lamb in a week or so.
