About Us
Lava Lake Ranch is located east of Carey, between the Pioneer Mountains, the Snake River Plateau, and Craters of the Moon National Monument. Here we raise 500 acres of organic hay for winter feeding, but this is just the epicenter of our operating area. Lava Lake sheep range from the deserts of the Snake River Plain south of the Ranch at roughly 3,000’ to the high peaks of the Boulder and Pioneer Mountains north of Sun Valley.

A patchwork of public and private lands, totaling over 900,000 acres, provides our sheep with a natural mixture of wild, fragrant grasses, herbs, and other plants. Our lambs graze with their mothers and continue to drink mother’s milk all their lives. The result is meat that is lean yet tender and flavorful - we think you'll find it to be the best you've ever tasted.

Lava Lake Lamb’s distinctive mild flavor has captured the attention of food critics and chefs across the country. Our lambs, 100% grass fed and free-ranging, are never given growth hormones or antibiotics. Their natural diet results in healthy animals, and as a growing body of research indicates, a healthier you. Grass-fed meat is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, and beta-carotene and is lower in fat than grain-fed meat. Read more about the benefits of grass-fed meats.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
Lava Lake’s vision is to maintain a working landscape that is rich with healthy wildlife populations and functioning ecosystems; preserving the wild nature of the landscape while using it carefully. Since forming in 1999 we have established ourselves as a national leader in grazing management and landscape-scale conservation. Our efforts have been recognized with a number awards including the U. S. Forest Service National Award for Outstanding Achievement in Rangeland Management, the Cecil D. Andrus Leadership Award for Sustainability and Conservation in 2009, and the Bureau of Land Management Rangeland Stewardship Award.

Our conservation practices strive for a healthy landscape that will continue to support wildlife populations and controlled sheep grazing in the future, while also providing our customers with the same unparalleled lamb. Maintaining the balance between conservation and use requires understanding the capacity of the landscape. Our science and conservation efforts are helping to bring our business closer to this understanding. Lava Lake permanently protected 7,500 acres at our main ranch, created the Lava Lake Institute for Science and Conservation, assisted in the formation of the Wood River Wolf Project, and continues partnerships with other conservation groups.
