Good morning Reader,

​

We are heading out to do the morning chores in a few moments but since the thermometer is reading -25, I thought I would sip on my warm coffee a little longer and send an email about our Early bird lamb sale. ​

​

We think sheep are powerful.

​

​

They turn green grasses and forbes into community resilience.

​

​

Did you know in the first year we planned on starting our sheep and lamb enterprise, we finished and sold 25 whole lambs?

​

In our second year, we finished 40 whole lambs –and yes, we still have more cuts to sell – but I have no doubt we will.

​

And this is our third year getting set up to raise and finish regeneratively pastured lambs to our local community.

​

​

In our first year – people put their faith in us that our lamb would meet their expectations.

​

Maybe this is because they felt like they could trust us after tasting our chicken and eggs – and could believe in us.

​

After that first year many people told their family and friends and neighbors about our lamb – and we were able to double the amount of lamb we grew.

​

This is the really cool thing:

​

People who never liked lamb – love our lamb

​

People who love the convenience of direct delivery to their door with a smile – love our lamb

​

People who want to support regenerative agriculture in Maine – want to see more carbon sinking into the ground – love our lamb

​

People who love supporting local farms and building a resilient local economy - love our lamb

​

And the wonderful bonus – is it tastes amazing.

​

Don’t take our word for it – Listen to what Martin from Bangor says

​

​

​

​

Did you know most farmers do not think growing and finishing lamb is a profitable business and go out of business only after a few years?

​

We were told by a wise shepherd – who has been raising lamb in Maine for many years. That most farmers can’t finish and sell more than 50 whole lambs in a year.

​

​

I read a statistic the other day that as a country we only produce 10% of the lambs we consume – this means that 9 out of 10 lamb dishes come mostly from Australia and New Zealand. Is that crazy?

​

​

Honestly – our vision is to blow that number out of the water.

​

Our impossible goal/vision is to Regeneratively raise and finish 3000 lambs each year.

​

And it’s all because of you. You are helping us lead the way in Regenerative agriculture in Maine.

​

​

So, this year – as our third year raising and finishing lambs on pasture with regenerative management – will you help us blow that 50 number out of the water?

​

Do you think we can get finish 80 lambs this year?

​

Do you think we can do it?

​

The more lambs we get here – the more IMPACT we can affect. The more soil building – biodiversity increasing - community building and family nutrient dense dinners we can affect.

We would never be able to do this without you.

With care and gratitude your farmers,
