I really do love it when a supplier of products follows this blog and then submits some very pertinent information. Such is the case with an email I received today from Cheryl Bennett from Lava Lake Ranch outside of Sun Valley, Idaho. Here is what she said. Thanks, Cheryl!!
I believe I have shared a glass of wine with Robin somewhere along the way….it may have even been a plane seat and we talked about dancing or something….the dust collects in parts of my brain and I can’t remember. I must say, your blog has grown a lot since the three or four years ago that I met Robin. We will start following you and we have started blogging and tweeting too (who would have thought that). Just as a reminder:
Lava Lake Ranch is an artisanal producer of 100 percent grass-fed certified organic lamb. The lamb is sustainably raised on a family-owned ranch in the Pioneer Mountains, near Sun Valley, Idaho. Dedicated to the proposition that what we eat matters, we raise our lambs sustainably, humanely, without antibiotics or growth hormones, and never place them in feed lots. The lambs graze only on the ranch’s certified organic range and drink mother’s milk. Their diverse diet of lush, fragrant range grasses and herbs makes our lamb tender, delectable, and highly nutritious.
Another part of the story that sets our ranch apart from others, is that all profits from the sale of Lava Lake Lamb help fund vital land and habitat conservation efforts over nearly a million acres in south-central Idaho. This is land conservation on a huge scale and just within this year, we’ve been rewarded with three national awards to honor our efforts: the Cecil D. Andrus Leadership Award for Sustainability and Conservation, the US Forest Service’s National Award for Outstanding Achievement in Rangeland Management, and the Bureau of Land Managements Rangeland Stewardship Award. We’re working on a number of conservation projects – everything from restoring wetlands to living with wolves through innovative predator avoidance techniques. You can read more about those efforts on the website and on our scientific research website.
We have entered the newest frontier in social networking and now have a blog, Lava Lake At WordPress, are Tweeting at Lava Lake and are on FaceBook. We encourage you to join up, start doing the same, and start widening the net of followers.
Susan, thanks for the kind words….you flatter me!!

There is some great information on local Idaho lamb! And as I said before, I really do like the follow-up that Lava Lake Ranch gave us. Let’s support them and their products. Cheers!
