The story of Atkins Ranch and Atkins Ranch Lamb begins in the fresh air of the green, productive hill country pastures of New Zealand.

 

John Atkins and his family have been ranchers for more than five generations. On their rolling  hill property, they are dedicated to providing healthy, lean lambs, which have never been in a feed lot.

 

Along with fellow ranchers, who are growing lamb for the Atkins Ranch program, John decided to investigate the North American and European markets. He discovered a special need for their healthy, free-range, naturally grown product.

 

Atkins Ranch has its own grading system to ensure consistent quality focusing on tenderness and leanness. Lambs are “Lean Grown” not “ Lean Trimmed”.

 

Naturally all animals are born with antibiotics, the use of the term "No Added Antibiotics" imply that the animals have not have received any antibiotics during the course of their lifetime. If from some reason an animal becomes ill and does receive antibiotics they are moved into a different ranch and pulled from the Atkins Ranch program.
