American Lamb Board Connects with Consumers at Local Events

Foodwise Sunday Supper

The American Lamb Board (ALB) recently collaborated with Foodwise, a San Franciso community-driven organization championing local agriculture and small farms. Their October Sunday Supper began with a delightful reception by Chef Adam Rosenblum of Causwells, who wowed guests with his Lamb Jam winning American Lamb Boudin Balls. As a special touch, each guest received Chef Rosenblum’s signature spice blend and a recipe card, allowing them to recreate his dish at home.

Chef Francis Ang led the main dinner with a show-stopping whole lamb on a spit, which brought attendees together in a celebration of community and the rich flavors of American lamb. Joe Pozzi, a California lamb rancher, attended the dinner to share his valuable insights on the importance of supporting American lamb farmers and ranchers.

The Foodwise Sunday Supper not only celebrates local food systems but also supports crucial causes, from promoting food access and education for youth to uplifting early-stage entrepreneurs in the Building Equity program. We’re proud to participate in this event and share the unique stories behind American lamb.

Secret Supper Series

The American Lamb Board has partnered with the Secret Supper Series, bringing farm-to-table dining experiences to communities across the country. This month, ALB sponsored dinners in Detroit, MI, and Atlanta, GA, adding to the series in Portland, Sonoma, Austin, Boston, Denver, and Seattle. Secret Supper's mission to unite people over exceptional food and wine in stunning settings aligns perfectly with showcasing American Lamb. Through these dinners, we’re able to bring people closer to the source of their food and celebrate the flavors of American lamb.

ALB was the main host at the Atlanta Secret Supper this week where an entire menu was designed around showcasing the versatility of American Lamb.  Tucker and Emily West of Liberty Farms, a local Georgia couple raising sheep for the Atlanta market, joined the dinner to share stories about their operation and lamb featured at the dinner.  Their customer and friend, Cam Floyd of Gezzo’s Coastal Cantina a local butcher and chef, conducted a butchery demonstration to help educate attendees about cut diversity and cooking methods when cooking with American Lamb.

“These events focus on community, local food systems, and support for American lamb, aligning well with our values”, said ALB Chairman Jeff Ebert.
