Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kim and the family after Mikes passing. He was a champion man who was very kind to us and always bent over backwards to help us out. He was a passionate supporter of all of us small meat producers and we will miss him dearly. We hope they’re well stocked up on Cooper’s Pale Ale up there as he has been known to enjoy one or two in his time. Here’s cheers Mike!🍻 You will be missed.😢

An exceptional Lamb Cooking Demonstration will start this years Festival at 10am – 12noon at the award winning Watervale Hotel Wed 23 Sept.

This will feature food icons of South Australia Slow Food South Australia Snail of Approval Chef Nicola Palmer and President Rosa Matto. They will present an engaging cooking demonstration celebrating the versatility of ethically produced lamb and the traditions of whole-animal cooking.

Along the way, they'll share practical cooking techniques, discuss the value of using the whole animal, and explore the connection between regenerative farming, artisan producers and exceptional food.

We are celebrating Festival of the Lamb 2026 with a very special European event dedicated to one of Europe's favourite cuts, the lamb shank.

Introducing "Shank You Very Much" a celebration of traditional European cooking, showcasing lamb shanks prepared in a number of different styles inspired by the flavours, techniques and culinary traditions of Europe.

From rich, slow-braised classics to rustic regional favourites, each dish will showcase just how versatile this beautiful cut can be.

And, of course, great food starts with great produce. We're proud to be using locally sourced lamb from our friends at Wunderbar Lamb, right here in the Clare Valley, celebrating local producers while bringing the flavours of Europe to your plate.
