About Our Lamb
The sheep in our lamb program -- Dorset x Hampshire x Suffolk -- are born and raised on our farm and are butchered at our local provincially inspected butcher just 15 kilometres from our farm. All of our sheep are free from artificial growth promotants and routine antibiotics. They spend all summer on pasture eating grass, and then hay in the winter.
Our lambs aren't spring lambs when they are butchered, but rather "hoggets" which are lambs in their second spring or summer –- so between one and two years old. Not only is the meat tender but the extra time on pasture also allows it to develop a flavour that's richer and fuller than spring lamb, though not as pronounced as older mutton. Meat from a hogget provides satisfying depth of flavour, texture, sweetness, versatility, and tenderness.

Custom Bulk Lamb | Taking orders for 2025!
When you order a half or whole lamb, you get to decide which cuts you'd like. However, because lambs (sheep) are small, you aren't able to request both ground lamb and stew lamb from a single animal -- it's one or the other. Check to see if we have some in stock, and you can always add the other cut to your order.
Whole lamb: approximately 50-60 pounds of meat -- $10.50/pound, includes cutting and wrapping
Half lamb: approximately 20-30 pounds of meat -- $11.50/pound, includes cutting and wrapping
Lamb is not dry aged, so once a lamb heads to the butcher, it's back to us very quickly, all cut and wrapped and ready for delivery.

The Wasylik family raise their cattle, sheep, and poultry with kindness and respect, and this approach speaks loudly in the quality of the meats and eggs that they sell. Lamb is one of my favourite meats, and Chatsworth Farm have raised the bar for me on what to expect from locally raised Alberta lamb. I have been lucky to collaborate on cooking classes using various cuts from a whole Chatsworth Farm lamb. I was delighted with the texture and flavour of the meat. Chatsworth Farm lamb is flavourful but mild and beautifully tender. I can’t recommend Chatsworth Farm and their superb local product enough."

We have a very small flock so we do sell out quickly.
