About Carney Farms

The Tin Top estate, now called Carney Farms, has been a working farm since 1851, and has seen its fair share of history. Originally 2,000 acres, the property has contributed to the development of multiple churches and homes over the years. Today, Carney Farms includes 45 acres and the original home with a tin roof, for which the farm’s road is named after.

Similar to Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, and Monticello, at Carney Farms, we strive to keep the history alive on our property. With that goal, you will find Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs, Dexter cattle, and St. Croix sheep on our property. All three breeds are historical heritage breeds, at various endangerment status with the Livestock Conservancy. And through our conservation efforts, we are able to sell breeding stock nationally, and sell pork, beef, and lamb locally.

We attend the following farmers markets:

Tuesday - Amherst County, 4-6 PM

Wednesday - Smith Mountain, 3-6 PM

Saturday - Lynchburg Forest Farmer's Market, 8 AM-12 PM

Saturday - Richmond RVA BIG Market, Bryan Park, 8 AM - 12 PM

A lamb roast is a classic and flavorful dish that features a large, tender cut of lamb, often prepared for special occasions or family gatherings. Common cuts for roasting include the leg, shoulder, or loin, each offering rich, succulent meat with a slightly gamey taste. The natural fat in lamb makes it ideal for roasting.

  • Leg of Lamb: A classic choice for roasting, known for its tender texture and bold flavor.
  • Lamb Shoulder Roast: A flavorful cut that benefits from slow cooking to achieve fall-apart tenderness.
