Why is grass fed important? Simply put, it’s the most natural and optimal source of food for a lamb to thrive on, as they’re biologically designed to digest grass much better than grains or processed foods.

How the animal has lived it’s life is important too – from how it’s treated, the space it’s given to live, down to the love it’s given – this all makes up the nutrient density that the end product becomes. It also determines how your body digests and is then able to use it for energy production.
