LAMB WITH HERITAGE
Lamb grazing across marshland pasture has been an iconic sight for centuries across East Anglia. The minimal impact of extensively farming sheep on the environment has made sheep a favoured choice for grazing some of the Broads’ more vulnerable wetland habitats across the year. Marshlands remain nutritious and lush throughout the seasons and have become synonymous as a region for fattening lambs from all over the UK
TENDER AND FLAVOURSOME
With a comparatively mild climate, East Anglia Marshland Lambs have some of the longest grazing periods for any lambs across the whole of the UK, with most spending all their lives on pasture. Lambs mature slowly, fattening on the natural resources of the marshes and meadows, as nature intended. A diverse diet of naturally occurring vegetation species provides a succulent, sweet and tasty lamb, rich in protein and nutrients.
TRACEABILITY FROM FARM TO FRIDGE
Forging relationships with a select group of trusted farmers who share our values has been instrumental in acquiring some of East Anglia’s premium marshland lamb. By using a small number of farmers, we guarantee full traceability of each individual East Anglia Marsh Lamb back to the farm where the animal was born and raised. At HG Blake, we pride ourselves on only sourcing lambs from local meadows and marshes to ensure minimal stress and short distance to travel to our RSPCA assured facility in the heart of rural Norfolk
