VIRGINIA LAMB
Clarke County, VA
Nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River, Corey and Janet Childs' family farm is close to 250 acres of pasture and rented ground in the rural community of Clarke County. Their flock consists of 60 to 70 select black-face ewes and 15 or so registered Southdowns, but they continue to grow even as they work to provide top-quality breeding stock and starter flocks to other farms throughout the country. The sheep are managed alongside the family farm's beef cattle operation. Their farm is also home to free-range chickens, meat goats, pigs, llamas, and a small herd of Shorthorn cattle. Although show lambs continue to be the main focus of their program, Virgina Lamb is now dedicated to offering a full line of prime lamb cuts and lamb sausage products. Virginia Lamb sells their products at the Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market. See www.valamb.com for more information.
