Signature Lamb Shanks – 2 Pack

Heritage lamb shanks are especially earthy, and incredibly delectable when roasted low and slow or braised until the meat falls off the bone. The shanks are some of the most underrated cuts in the butcher’s case, and make for some of the most comforting and tasty meals imaginable – with of course, the bone itself, providing a gorgeous depth of flavor and silkiness to soups and stews!

Their lamb is raised on lush Vermont pastures by farmers they have worked with for over a decade. Heritage brings in whole lamb nose-to-tail seasonally when ready in the Spring and Fall.

Patrick Martins founded Heritage Foods in 2001 to preserve endangered species of livestock from extinction. These species were the foundation of our food supply for 5,000 years, yet they receive almost no attention. Today, Heritage Foods supports over fifty family farms that raise Heritage breeds – the very foundation of our agricultural history and gastronomic identity. These animals are raised humanely, outdoors, on pasture, using traditional farming techniques. The result is the world’s best-tasting, highest-quality meat – more marbled and boasting a far more profound taste and depth of flavor than what you’ll find at the supermarket. This is what meat used to taste like, and what it’s supposed to taste like, and with one bite you’ll understand the difference!
