Making savory lamb stew with the farming chefs

Grass-fed lamb is naturally leaner and more flavorful than grain-fed varieties, with a distinct, slightly earthy taste due to its diet of pasture grasses and wild herbs. It contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, making it a healthier choice. Ethically raised on open pastures, grass-fed lamb supports sustainable farming practices and better animal welfare.
