NOVEMBER 2024
The first lambs of spring
Blue skies in Turakina, as the first draft of our 2024 spring lambs headed off earlier this month. This is always an exciting time for our Coastal Farmers, kickstarting another season.
It has been a mild winter on farm, which has meant the lambs are a kilo and a half heavier than they were this same time last year. This is a great start to the new season.
We are ready for another season, and excited for what’s to come.
It’s also great timing to see our new branding on the GK Skou’s Limited Truck – one of our Coastal Lamb shareholders and suppliers. Without these guys carting our lambs from the farm gate to the processor, nothing would be possible.
Hong Kong
Dad recently returned from an exciting visit to Hong Kong – where he was promoting Coastal Lamb to chefs across Hong Kong at an Origins event, alongside other world-class suppliers. He then travelled to Macau for the same event.
This was an interactive opportunity where people could try the lamb, with Dad running a live cooking station, carving a roast Coastal Lamb Leg.

Coastal Lamb in Christchurch!
A recent visit from Granny called for the perfect opportunity to visit Tussock Hill and try our lamb – and it certainly did not disappoint!
The land on which Tussock Hill is located on the Port Hills of Christchurch was originally part of a large sheep farm. The 10-acre block was purchased then developed into a vineyard and olive grove in 1998. Today, Tussock Hill is a family owned and operated venture featuring a vineyard, restaurant, wine shop and bespoke accommodation.
We are proud to see our Coastal Lamb shoulder featuring on the menu at Tussock Hill – roasted with jus and quince mustard.
A must stop when you’re next in Christchurch!

It’s nearly Christmas time!
We’re almost a month away from Christmas – so now is the perfect time to start thinking about what is going to be on your menu this Christmas.
