About Rack of Lamb
Rack of Lamb is offered by Laurel Highlands Farms as part of our Pennsylvania farm-direct lamb program. LAMB · per lb
Rack of lamb comes from the rib primal, usually sold frenched so the bones are exposed for an elegant presentation. It is one of the most tender cuts on the animal and cooks quickly — a hard sear followed by a short stint in a hot oven to medium-rare is the classic approach, then it is sliced between the bones into individual chops at the table.
A full rack of lamb typically has seven or eight ribs and serves two to three people as a main course, or more if served alongside other dishes. A simple herb crust of garlic, rosemary and breadcrumbs is a classic finishing touch, added in the last few minutes of roasting so it browns without burning.
Buying directly from a farm is easier when product identity, price and use are clear. Consider how many people you are feeding, the cooking methods you use most often and how the item will fit into your meal planning. Our shop also includes related cuts, primals and specialty boxes so you can compare options without losing the connection to the farm.
Availability follows the realities of a working livestock farm. Add currently available products to your cart and confirm pickup or other fulfillment details during checkout or by contacting the farm. For more help choosing and cooking cuts, visit our beef and lamb guides.
Good to know
Fresh lamb keeps best refrigerated at 40°F or below and should be cooked within a few days of thawing; for longer storage keep it frozen in the original vacuum packaging. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator on a tray and pat the meat dry before cooking for a better crust.
Pasture-raised lamb has a clean, mild flavor when it is not overcooked. Cook chops and racks quickly to medium-rare or medium, and give shoulder, shank and breast cuts the long, gentle heat that turns their connective tissue tender. Always rest the meat before carving.
