Does anyone have a source (within 50km)to get local lamb, looking for leg of lamb for a dinner party on Saturday.

If you search one of my local meat threads for Frank, he has a friend who raises it. He will source me local lamb any time I want with my pork or beef orders, and he will not mark it up any. Delivers it free with my pork/beef order. But you need to take a whole lamb, and he probably won't deliver if you don't buy his beef/pork :-) Though probably will just give you the contact info ...

I'll check that out.

Tell him a former "Norstar" person who makes his own beer sent you and he'll treat you like royalty :-)

Yum!

I get my lamb at Aubrey's or at one of the farmers who are part of the naturallamb.ca collective.

I got excellent fresh (as in not frozen) local lamb a few weeks ago from a vendor at the Landsdown farmer's market. I think only 1 has it fresh, others offer frozen. It was nice and tasty, much much better than the stuff you buy at large outlets and since you are buying directly from the farmer...

Didn't ask their name - sorry. Their booth was located at the south-west corner.

Coookie - that's Canreg Station, they make cheese from sheep's milk and sell lamb meat (various cuts & ground). I made some wicked fennel lamb meatballs with the ground meat, as well as kofta skewers, delish.

Guess it's going to be for later, the "guest" of honor has now changed
their mind about lamb.
Thanks for the info, it's quite useful even if it's not applied immediately.
