Hog Island Heritage Lamb Leg Roast

This isn’t just lamb — it’s a piece of American history.

Our Hog Island lamb comes from one of the rarest heritage sheep breeds in the country, descended from colonial flocks that survived for generations on Virginia’s barrier islands. Today, Hog Island sheep are listed as a critically endangered heritage breed, and raising them is part of preserving an important piece of our agricultural past.

By choosing this roast, you’re helping keep that history alive.

The leg roast is a classic, old-fashioned centerpiece cut, tender, richly flavored, and perfect for slow roasting. Hog Island lamb is naturally smaller and leaner than commercial lamb, with a clean, mild flavor and beautiful texture that shines with simple seasoning: garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and time.

Roast it low and slow for Sunday dinner, slice thin for sandwiches, or serve it family-style straight from the carving board.
