Q:  What exactly is the lamb from Pinn-Oak Ridge Farm?

A: The lamb sold by the Pinn-Oak Ridge farm comes from small family farms throughout southeastern Wisconsin. The lamb is always under 10 months of age and grain fed for at least 30 days under a special feeding program that enhances the flavor of the meat. WisconsinLamb ™ is free of added hormones and antibiotics, and is harvested when the animal’s weight is between 130 and 150 pounds. The meat is prepared in the Pinnows’ own on-site processing plant in Richmond Township, Wisconsin, by artisan butchers


Q:  What makes Pinn-Oak Ridge Farm lamb different from the competition?

A: In addition to the rich flavor that sets this meat apart from the rest, WisconsinLamb is as fresh as any lamb can be. Orders are taken at the beginning of each week, with specific processing occurring by the middle of the week. The artisan butchers work at the plant that is right on the farm, and Pinn-Oak Ridge maintains several dedicated delivery vans. Within a few days of the order, the meat can be personally delivered to the restaurant kitchen or grocery store.
