New Recipe: Low Country Lamb Chili

Captain John S. Pope Farm is located in the rolling hills of Orange County NC, about 20 miles north of Chapel Hill. Operated by third, fourth, and fifth generations. We raise free range lambs on a biodiverse mix of grasses, brassicas and legumes. The result is tasty low fat meat with higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acid, CLA, Vitamin E, Beta–Carotene and a lower level of Skatole.

In addition to providing good grazing, the legumes produce nitrogen and eliminate the need for commercial fertlizer. Ponds and wetlands are fenced out to protect soil and water quality. Fresh deep well water is provided from frost-free water troughs. We use no chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, hormones, biosolids, grains, genetically altered materials or antibiotics, and our meat is USDA-inspected and NCDA-licensed for handling and transport.

You are invited to visit the farm and purchase delicious healthy meat and enjoy the pleasant country atmosphere. If you are unable to visit us, we will ship to you in fast frozen vaccuum packs. We offer your favorite cuts individually packaged or whole or halves for the BBQ pit.
