Mint Creek Farm
Mint Creek Farm
Our shares contain an assortment of lamb, mutton, goat, beef, rose veal and more. Each month we carefully pack a mixture of familiar cuts and some more adventurous cuts into each share. Our goal is to encourage our members to have fun in the kitchen and try new foods. We aim to provide all our members with healthy grass-fed meat that is flavorful and easy to prepare.
Mint Creek Farm is located near Stelle, in east-central Illinois. Our sheep thrive on the lush green prairie pastures spring, summer, fall, and most of the winter. Our lambs are never placed in feed lots, never given hormones. Raised with thoughtful care by our shepherds, Mint Creek lamb is mild-flavored, tender, and tasty.
Grass feeding is great for the sheep, and therefore, better for you. Eating grass-fed lamb is a healthy way to enjoy meat in your diet. Research indicates that eating grass-fed meat is a healthy choice, because it is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), Vitamin E, and beta-carotene, and is typically lower in fat than grain-fed meat.We are sure that you will enjoy the flavor and healthful benefits from eating our delicious, tender lamb.
