Naturally Produced on Family Farms
Irish lamb is produced today with the same traditional farming practices that have been applied for thousands of years, resulting in a range of products available throughout the year, from milk and Easter lamb, to main season and hill lamb, all of which excel in their unique taste and eating experience.
The main lambing season in Ireland runs from February through to April each year, with lambs reared outdoors on a diet of their mothers’ milk and fresh spring grass.
Ireland’s fertile soils, diverse landscapes and temperate climate contributes to the famous green pasturelands on which our lambs are produced. There are approximately 34,000 sheep farmers and over 2.5 million breeding ewes in Ireland. Irish sheep farms operate as family businesses with the average ewe flock of just over 100 head. This allows farmers give close attention to their flocks all year round.
