Lamb Brats - Three Ways 🐑

We're especially excited about these. We've got lamb brats in three flavors: Garlic, Italian, and Chorizo.

It's an easy way to try something a little different with locally raised lamb - and they're perfect for grilling as we head into the heart of summer.

Three flavors means you may have to try all three. We're not saying that's a problem.

Our featured farm for August is Lesser Farms in Dexter, a name tied to this community's agriculture for generations.

Their beef comes from cattle fed on pasture 3/4 of the year, and finished on grain and hay grown right there on the farm. They don't buy outside feed, so they know exactly what goes into these animals. No added hormones, fillers, or preservatives. From there, it goes to Hillsdale County Meats, a USDA facility, and they handle all delivery and pickup themselves to make sure it's handled right the whole way. Every cut is individually vacuum sealed and frozen for freshness.

More on the Lesser family's history coming this month.

An earthen oven build on the Rosebud Reservation, made possible by Washtenaw Meats' fundraising dinner: kids from the Boys & Girls Club stomped mud to help raise this oven, which will now anchor community gatherings and traditional, sustainable food practices.

August is all about Lesser Farms - https://mailchi.mp/washtenawmeats/summer26-9951233

This month, we're introducing one of our longtime partner farms, where generations of the Lesser family have cared for the land and raised cattle in the Dexter community.

Today's email shares more of their story—and why partnerships like this are at the heart of Washtenaw Meats.
