You'll taste the difference immediately.
A rich tender flavor unlike anything you've experienced before. Even people
who would hesitate to order lamb in the best restaurants love the taste of our
lamb. Our lamb is sold directly to the customer - no middlemen, no feedlots,
shipping, or grocery chains. It's farm fresh. Here's
what customers have to say about our lamb.
We
sell to individuals interested in the best
quality and healthiest of foods. We're a
small farm with limited output, but that
allows us absolute quality control over our
product, and ensures that
our livestock is well cared for. We are proud to be the first
sheep farm in the country to be
certified humaneTM. Our small size also allows us to
package your lamb exactly to your individual specifications.
What's so Special About Natural Lamb From
Touchstone Farm?
Raising such superior tasting lamb doesn't come easy. The unique flavor
of Touchstone Farm lamb is the result of careful attention to the diet,
breeding, and growing conditions of our sheep.
Our lamb is grown on a small farm nestled in the rolling hills of
Rappahannock County about 1.5 hours from Washington, DC. Aside from being an
area of breathtaking beauty, Rappahannock is ideal sheep country. Our sheep
thrive on lush green pastures of orchard grass, rye grass, clover, and native
herbs and forbs. This healthy diet forms the basis for the rich and unique
flavor of our lamb.
Recent
studies indicate that this healthy diet is healthier for you too.
The free-range sheep at Touchstone Farm are never given
any artificial or processed feeds, hormones, or growth supplements. They drink
fresh water piped directly from our springs. The flock at
Touchstone Farm is a happy and healthy one.
Note:
Because lamb from Touchstone Farm is so lean and tender we often have to
warn customers not to overcook it. Touchstone Farm's lamb should be cooked
until it reaches an internal temperature of 160o - no more. Our
lamb achieves its fullest flavor when served medium-rare.
We're so convinced of the superiority of our product that we guarantee
it. If it simply isn't the best tasting lamb you've ever eaten, simply
return the remainder of your order and we'll refund your purchase
completely.
How to Order Your Lamb
Because of the limited supply, its best to order
your lamb as early as possible
(most years we have a waiting list). Spring lamb (Package 3) is
available only in May, while our regular lamb packages
(Packages 3 and 4) are available October through December. Just fill out the appropriate order form below
and send it to us to reserve your order. It's as simple as that. We will
contact you upon receipt of your order request to arrange for payment and
delivery or farm pick-up. Unfortunately sales of
Touchstone Farm lamb are currently limited to Northern Virginia and the DC
metropolitan area. We hope to be able to ship lamb to customers outside our
delivery area in the near future. We have a limited free delivery area.

Lamb Packages
Since we take so much care to ensure that our lamb is raised in a
healthy, natural way, you'd expect to pay a premium for such an outstanding
product. Yet our prices are much what you'd pay in a grocery store, and
considerably less than you'd expect to pay for a similar product in high-end
gourmet shops. We can afford to offer you a superior product at such a low
cost because we only sell our lamb in "packages" and not by
individual cuts.
