About Gnarled Oak Farm

Hernando, Mississippi

Gnarled Oak Farm is a small family farm in the Mississippi Hill country. We raise Belted Galloway cows (the Oreo cows) and other heritage breeds of livestock, including sheep, pigs, turkeys, chickens, all on pasture. We work hard to do it in a way that enhances clean water, wildlife, and ecosystem health.

 

We believe in diversity. And soil health. And that ecosystem health is directly linked to human health. Our mission is to foster a system that improves the environment while providing food and other regenerative products to a growing community. We believe that regenerative practices can do that and more. Our practices include intensive rotational grazing, planting cover crops, no sprays, no tillage, and plant and livestock diversity.

 

We started farming in 2017 and have been expanding and diversifying since then.

What are Lamb Chops?

Lamb chops, a delectable cut of meat derived from young sheep, have gained widespread popularity in diverse global cuisines. Their appeal lies in their tender texture and distinct flavor profile.

There are two primary types of lamb chops: rib chops and loin chops. Rib chops resemble petite, meaty lollipops attached to the bone, while loin chops are leaner and boast a greater tenderness. Exploring these varieties allows for a nuanced understanding of their unique gustatory attributes, making it worthwhile to sample each to discern personal preferences.

How do you cook Lamb Chops?

Cooking lamb chops is easier than you think.

Here are a few tips:

  1. Seasoning Magic: Keep it simple and season your lamb chops with some salt, pepper, and maybe a sprinkle of your favorite herbs. Lamb's flavor shines on its own.

  2. Sear for Flavor: Heat up a pan nice and hot, then add a bit of oil. Give your chops a good sear on each side. This locks in all those tasty juices.

  3. Don't Overcook: Lamb chops are at their best when they're a bit pink in the middle. Aim for medium-rare, which means about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness.

  4. Let Them Rest: Once they're done, resist the urge to dive right in. Let the chops chill for a few minutes. This lets the juices spread out, making them even more mouthwatering.

  5. Pair with Goodies: Lamb chops love hanging out with some tasty sides. Think roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.

  6. Experiment with Flavors: Don't be afraid to get creative with marinades or sauces. A bit of garlic and rosemary or a tangy mint sauce can take your chops to a whole new level.

  7. Safety First: Always use a meat thermometer to make sure your lamb is cooked to a safe temperature. It should register at least 145°F (63°C).
