In a word, January is best described as intense. Work demands, school assignments, extra-curricular activities combined with dark and snowy days make our meal times especially precious.

 

January is special time at Chip-in Farm, as our ethically raised lamb is available for a limited time, while supply lasts. Lamb is a rich source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12 and has a tender and buttery quality.
