Sun Raised Foods markets lamb raised on the Montgomery Sheep Farm located less than 80 miles from Boone. Our farm recently won the Solar Ranch of the Year award from the North American Agrivoltaics Association. We employ rotational grazing and regenerative agriculture practices to minimize the use of medicine to control animal health, as well as minimizing the use of additional fertilizer needed for soil fertility. Lamb raised on our solar farms are protected from the stress of the summer heat and the moisture of the winter rain. Our animals benefits from wider variety of vegetation that grows on the pasture when compared to typical open pastures.

The farm is 200 acres in size with 123 covered in solar panels and 88 acres of open pasture, and forest. We have 7 great pyrenees dogs that protect our sheep, chickens, peacocks, ducks and other animals. In the Spring and Fall, we host farm to table events at our farm to highlight the skills of North Carolina chefs and provide tours of our operations.

Sun Raised Foods lamb are raised on a certified Animal Welfare Approved farm. No antibiotics, hormones, or toxic chemicals are used on our lamb or their pastures. The result is lamb that is healthier, more tender with a wonderful flavor, high in omega 3 fatty acids, and essential amino acids.

Sun Raised Foods creates a stable market for the lamb raised by our family farm and other small family farmers in our farmer network. It is responsible for having the lamb processed into prime frozen cuts and two proprietary recipes of 100% lamb salami. The Sun Raised Foods Lamb Salami is sold individually and as part of a unique charcuterie box featuring the lamb salami, a local cheese, local jam, local honey and artisan crackers.
