About Willow Spring Ranch: At Willow Spring Ranch Montana, they strive to produce the most tender, best tasting certified organic lamb possible. They raise grass-fed and finished lamb without added hormones or antibiotics. Aside from a mineral, kelp and salt supplement, required for their well-being, there are no added inputs. Their lambs grow quickly on their mother’s milk and their pastures of native grasses, alfalfa and clover. They work hard to ensure their lambs have low stress, high quality lives — and believe these practices, combined with a careful breeding program and the calcium rich soil of their ranch, are responsible for their incredibly mild and tender lamb. They take pride in the careful management of both their flock and their land. A well-managed grazing program keeps their pastures healthy, provides their sheep with fresh and appealing forage at its nutritional peak, and allows them to avoid the use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides. In addition, they feel they are part of the natural environment here and have a responsibility to preserve what they can. They practice non-lethal predator control with the use of livestock guardian dogs and seek to maintain a balance between the agricultural and wildlife areas of their ranch. Tickets are $138 per adults and $30 per child. Please visit www.seasonalmontana.com/experiences/farm-dinners to reserve a seat.
