Merguez is a spicy sausage that originated in North Africa and the Middle East. Ours features lamb stuffed into a natural sheep casing. The sausage is known for its vibrant red color and intense flavor, which comes from a blend of spices that includes cumin, chili pepper, and harissa.
Our lamb is raised on pasture without hormones or antibiotics. Our sheep flock is made up primarily of the Dorset breed, a heritage breed that originated in Britain. From May to November, we intensively manage our flock in a rotational grazing system across our pastures. This allows the animals to have access to the best quality grasses, while fertilizing our fields with manure and providing an adequate rest period for plant regrowth. During the winter months the flock is brought into the barn where they are fed hay and have access to the outdoor barnyard at all times.
