About Great Lakes Lamb

We are Jim and Sherrie Bristol and Rick and Elaine Palm. We have a strong family history of farming in America, and now we are two generations continuing that heritage together in northeast Michigan. Our family appreciates caring for the land and animals, and we would like future generations to have the same opportunity.


Quality, nutritious protein products are an important food choice we offer our community. It’s a pleasure to raise food for our own family and a bonus to raise food for others’ families. Some of our favorite lamb dishes include kabobs, bratwurst, burgers and sliders, cherry-glazed loin and more.

Ground lamb is a versatile staple that brings a gourmet twist to everyday meals.

What Is Ground Lamb?

Ground lamb is made by grinding cuts of lamb meat, often from the shoulder or leg, with a balanced fat content to ensure tenderness and flavor. It's an excellent alternative to ground beef and can be used in a wide variety of dishes from burgers to Mediterranean classics.

Why Choose Ground Lamb?

  • Bold Flavor – Rich, slightly earthy flavor that elevates everyday meals.

  • Versatile – Great for meatballs, burgers, tacos, stuffed peppers, or shepherd’s pie.

  • Globally Inspired – A key ingredient in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian cuisine.

  • Quick Cooking – Cooks fast and evenly, ideal for weeknight dinners.

How to Cook Ground Lamb

Ground lamb can be sautéed, grilled, or roasted depending on the recipe.

  • Season well with spices like cumin, coriander, garlic, mint, and rosemary.

  • Sauté in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through.

  • Drain excess fat and use in pasta sauces, wraps, or rice bowls.

Ground Lamb Cooking Temperatures:

  • Cook to an internal temperature of 160°F for safety and optimal flavor.

Fun Facts About Ground Lamb

  • Ground lamb is a lean source of protein and high in zinc, iron, and B vitamins.

  • It’s a staple in dishes like moussaka, kefta, kofta, lamb gyros, and lamb curry.

  • Lamb pairs beautifully with bold herbs and spices, making it a favorite for flavorful global dishes.

We purchase 2–3 lambs a year from Great Lakes Lamb, and it is by far the best lamb we’ve ever had. The flavor is outstanding, and the meat is always tender and delicious. On top of the quality, the customer service is consistently exceptional. Highly recommend!

Wow! I can’t say enough about the quality of this meat! It was incredibly tender and flavorful. The shipping was fast, and I especially appreciated the recipe book, note from the farmers, and reminder that the ice blankets and cooler can be reused! I’m always happy to support a small business, it’s easy when their product is some of the best meat I’ve ever tasted! I highly recommend, and I can’t wait to order again!
