Pozzi Ranch Lambs are raised by Joe Pozzi and his group of family ranchers in Northern California on open pastures of natural grasses, legumes and forage.

 

Joe Pozzi is a fourth generation sheep producer and has been raising sheep in Sonoma County all his life.

 

Joe is a leader in land management as a member of California Agricultural Leaders Foundation and is committed to the sustainability of the land. All our open pasture is free of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. In addition, the lambs are on a rotational grazing schedule that promote animal health and protects open pasture ecosystems by preventing over grazing and land erosion.

 

All  our ranchers raise their sheep humanely in low-stress environments. The average flock ranges from 700 to 800 lambs and can be found on a part of the 1,000 acres that Joe leases and owns. Lambs are never subjected to added hormones, growth promotants or antibiotics. Very few supplements are given to the sheep, however, when there is not enough nutritional grass for grazing, they are provided alfalfa.

Are Pozzi Ranch Lambs certified organic?

                  Most of our pasture lands are certified organic, the lambs are not certified organic because we use a small targeted dose of medication to keep them free of worms and parasites that can cause them harm. We feel it’s more important to keep our lambs healthy and happy then worry about having them labeled organic, besides the quality grass pastures and fresh water mean more than a title.
