All through the year we supply lamb from our neighbours, Willy Griffin.
Willy farms on the shores of Rutland Water with his father John, grazing sheep and lambs on old natural pasture, right down to the edge of Rutland Water.
We also supply from our own farm Hampshire Down lamb from April to October, and, like Willy, we also produce our lambs to have a little more fat. This allows the butchers to hang lamb for ten days, shrinking the fat and tenderising the meat.
Our lamb is naturally free range, tender, sweet and succulent.
Another established favourite is Saltmarsh lamb; from Trevor Ball at Hornsea Mere and Spurn Point. The two sites offer differing and interesting grazing, varying from salt marsh through dune land, scrub and natural meadow land within a Site of Special Scientific Interest, this varied diet produces succulent and tasty meat. This is generally available from October, but we also have some Welsh Saltmarsh available from time to time; please give us a ring to ensure availability on 01507 568235 or email enquiries@hambletonfarms.co.uk.
