Achill Mountain Lamb

07/10/2026

After a summer grazing the wild grasses, heathers and coastal vegetation of Achill, our mountain lamb is full of the rich, distinctive flavour that makes it so special.

The evenings are getting colder, the Sunday roasts are calling, and there’s no better time to get some Achill Mountain Lamb joints in the fridge.

Order online and bring a taste of Achill to your table this October.

It takes a village, and today, that village included this beauty! We're never short of dogs here on the farm, but his heterochromia makes him even more special.

There are times for work and there are times for rest and a piping hot cup of tea. Unfortunately, the time for rest is never quite long enough!

Transparency has always been at the heart of what we do, and we want you to know exactly what you’re getting when you order from us.

In Part One, Gráinne takes us from a whole lamb carcass down to the three main primals. Then we’ll get into the individual cuts and, ultimately, what makes it into your box.

There's a lot that goes into raising this flock that never makes it onto a plate or into a caption, and shearing day is one of them.

For us, it's not just a task to tick off. It's a day the whole family ends up involved in, one way or another. Some of us handling the sheep, some of us just there to help however's needed. It's warm work, and long, but it's also one of those days that reminds you why you do this the way you've always done it: slowly, by hand, and together.

So next time you're at the table with a bite of Achill Mountain Lamb, know that days like this - unglamorous, unseen - are part of how it got there.
