Huge thank you to everyone who braved the uncertain weather to come out to the Midwest Garlic Fest today! If you weren't as brave, we don't blame you at all! If you still want a chance for a great meal this weekend, come out for Day 2 in Elizabeth for Garlic Fest from 10-4 or hit us in the morning at The Territory Farmers Market from 8-Noon for breakfast! Tomorrow should be beautiful weather, so there's no excuse! 😉😁

Picture from the passenger seat on the way home from Garlic Fest today - clouds broke up a bit in the last hour we were there.

08/19/2022

We're scheduled to be at Garlic Fest in Elizabeth this weekend. Come grab a Gyro, Spicy Merguez, or Lamb N Swiss burger. We're also going to try out our Swanky Franky with a Garlic cheese instead of cheddar. There's a high chance of rain tomorrow, so it may be a "play it by ear" situation, but as of now we're there Saturday 9-6 and Sunday 10-4.

We will be at The Territory Farmers Market on Sunday as well with a limited booth of JUST breakfast - no fiber, cheese, or meat available. But we will have lamb breakfast sausage back in stock for sandwiches!

08/13/2022

We've spent the last 2 days prepping for the Market House Square Annual Art Festival this weekend and hopefully haven't forgotten anything!

We'll be there Saturday 10-6 and Sunday 10-4 serving our signature Gyro, Merguez, and Lamb n' Swiss burgers, our famous Swankie Frankie, and delicious french fries. Stop down to see us and browse the incredible local artists!!!

We will be splitting forces on Sunday morning to be available at the art show AND at The Territory Farmers Market. Our market booth will be limited to breakfast sandwiches only (no fiber, lamb, or cheese available) since we'll be working at half staff. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Hoping to see you this weekend!

Videos from this Spring. Mostly lambs in "The Mad Dash" but a few of the whole flock too. Some have sound, a few are muted. The lambs running is one of our favorite parts of this business! 💖

This year's triplets!! All girls and look at the beautiful colors!!

Spring shearing and the ram pad.

06/03/2022

I will be posting lots of lamb pictures today! My computer keeps trying to kick me off so they'll be a bunch of small batches. It was so rainy and/or windy this Spring that individual family pictures were almost impossible to get, so enjoy the completely random lambs!

05/30/2022

Huge thank you to everyone who came out to The Territory Farmers Market this morning! What a welcome back!!

Over 800 people came through the market today and we completely sold out of ingredients for breakfast sandwiches! 6 dozen eggs, 45 sausage patties, and all 3 bun options, sold out! We were way out of practice but rallied pretty well I think! Sincerely, we thank you all so much for sticking with us and coming back after our covid-regulation induced break! 💖

While you can definitely find us at the Territory this summer, don't forget we sell on Jo Daviess Local Foods too and will hopefully be able to keep some product available there too.

Have you missed us??

Well, find us tomorrow morning 8-12 at The Territory Farmers Market for our breakfast sandwiches, dryer balls, select burgers, and lamb cuts! It will be our first event since Fall of 2019, so we're excited and nervous to start up again on a busy holiday weekend! Come see us for breakfast or just to say hi!

Don't forget we also have burgers, cuts, sheep milk cheese, and dryer balls on Jo Daviess Local Foods

Mom's Away So the Lambs Will Play!!

One of the best sights during lambing is the Mad Dash! Unsupervised and feeling their freedom, the lambs just start running!! It is so funny and adorable!

It's "Pumpkin Fest" time of year on the farm. Later than regular pumpkin fests, but that's when we get the best deals ;) Sheep love pumpkins, and we heard this year that they actually help the sheep control parasites - which would be great if true! Added bonus, we usually end up with a couple "volunteer" pumpkin patches scattered on the farm the next year!

Come see us for a nice, HOT breakfast at the Dubuque Winter Market this morning until noon! We sold out of everything last weekend so come early to make sure you get your preferred combo! We have a limited supply of meats, and most of our sheep milk cheeses. Located at the corner if 11th and Central with a big blue feather flag at the door!

We're here at The Territory Farmers Market this morning until noon despite the gloomy weather! Grab a nice hot breakfast sandwich made with an Icelandic lamb sausage patty, some frozen lamb to take home, or some warm Icelandic yarn to knit or crochet this winter!

Violet and Her Mischief Maker

After the lambs running and playing, this is the next best thing! It's always a treat when we get to see the lambs climbing on mom - even more so when mom stands up and the lamb manages to stay on for a little bit! It was just happy coincidence that I had the camera when Violet's little man decided to use her as a jungle gym. We are (again) way behind on new lambs pictures - yes we're still going! But hopefully we'll get them out soon!

Ready to Run

A new video! More lambs, more playing, more moms yelling! These lambs are all ages and sizes - from a day to 2.5 weeks, from 5 lbs to 13 lbs. It's the best part of lambing, watching them run and play and learn from each other.

New Spring, New Lambs

Before we get to new lamb pictures, I thought I'd post a video for your viewing pleasure. Keep in mind that I'm much more comfortable with pictures than I am with video! The crazy running spotted lamb is one of the first born this year - the older ones are always the troublemakers! The ewes in this pasture are our pregnant polled ewes and all the ewes who have had lambs so far. Later in the video you can see sheep in an adjacent pen - these are the one winter ewes, some of whom are bred. The horned flock has barely started yet and are about the same size as this group, so we have TONS more to go!!

Fall Shearing 2016

A nice clip of Brian shearing one of our Icelandic ewes. Sorry it ends abruptly (had to go grab the next victim!). Brian shears a little different than our usual shearer David but he does a great job!
