Our Farms & Suppliers  

At Eversfield Organic we use a selection of small, local sheep farms that work solely with us. Our farms have various breeds, from Scottish Blackface ewes to Manx Loaghtan sheep, who are of course all 100% grass-fed. They also have perfect parenting skills for those bouncy spring lambs and a friendly temperament. The lambs are also grass-fed, so these happy little sheep spend their lives in the fields, the way they should be. They graze freely on organic pastures, roaming acres of luscious rolling hills. A clover-rich diet gives the meat a healthy covering of fat and marbling throughout, creating meltingly soft roasting joints, succulent centrepieces, and tender, quick-cooking steaks.

How To Cook

We Recommend: 

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-based pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Add the lamb shanks and brown them on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. This caramelizes the outside and adds flavour to the dish.
  • Add lamb broth to lamb shanks to the pot, nestling them into the liquid so they are mostly submerged.
  • Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid
  • Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and cook the lamb shanks in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is very tender.
  • After about 2.5 hours, check the lamb shanks for tenderness. The meat should be very soft and almost falling off the bone.
