Locally Raised, Globally Better

Each year, over 300 million pounds of lamb are sold in the U.S., with more than half coming from Australia and New Zealand. Why buy lamb shipped from halfway around the world when you can enjoy fresh, locally raised meat—born, raised, and processed right here in Upstate South Carolina, just miles from Greenville? When you choose Grimshaw Farms, you’re getting lamb that’s fresher, tastier, and sustainably raised, while directly supporting local agriculture.

Loaded with Essential Nutrients

Lamb isn’t just high in protein—it’s also naturally rich in essential vitamins and minerals. A single serving provides a powerful dose of:

Zinc – Supports immune health
Selenium – An essential antioxidant
Riboflavin & Niacin – Vital for energy metabolism
Vitamin B12 & B6 – Key for brain function and red blood cell production

Lean & Flavorful

A 3-ounce serving of lamb contains just 160 calories, with lean cuts like leg, loin, and shoulder offering a perfect balance of flavor and nutrition.

Heart-Healthy Benefits

Lamb is a great source of heart-healthy fats! A 3-ounce serving contains 3 grams of monounsaturated fat, the same type found in olive oil. In fact, 57% of the fat in American lamb is monounsaturated, making it a wholesome choice for any diet.
