Shepherd's Lamb is the Manzanares family ranch near Tierra Amarilla in northern New Mexico, the state's only certified organic lamb producer, selling range raised lamb, pelts, yarn and wool blankets.
Shepherd's Lamb is a family run ranch at Chama in northern New Mexico and the sole certified organic lamb producer in the state.
The lambs are never finished in a feedlot. They spend their whole lives browsing the open range, summering in the Carson National Forest, and that varied diet of grasses, shoots and mountain plants gives the meat its mild, tender taste. The ranch also sells wool blankets, yarn and pelts.
Antonio and the sales team are at the Santa Fe Farmers Market most Saturdays with meat cuts, pelts and yarn. You can also ring or email to order cuts or a whole lamb, shipped domestically and internationally, or find the lamb at La Montañita Coop in Santa Fe and at restaurants across northern New Mexico.
