LAMB AVAILABLE IN AUGUST
Preorders for lamb cuts in 2008 are now being taken. Please call for cut
availability and pricing. All cuts are vaccum sealed and flash frozen
for freshness.
To
keep our stock healthy and happy also means letting go of some animals
and bringing in new ones. From time to time we do sell animals such as
our sheep or goats (female and male) especially after lambing season.
Because
we care about our animals barn checks are always made before an animal
is placed. If you are interested please contact us for any information.
Animals full history including shots, feeding schedule, worming and care
will be included along with any registration papers.
We
ask that if you, for any reason, ever need to get rid of your animal you
return it to us at Carraig Farm...there is enough animal abuse out there
and we don't want our animals to become part of that statistic.

Honesty,
caring, funny, creative and talented are a few words for Jim Stacy
but the best word to describe Jim right now is courageous.
A
woodworker extrordinare, Dad of two and the best carpenter around
from Boston to Ashby is now fighting leukemia after a ten year battle
with cancer. He is currently receiving aggressive treatments at
a Boston hospital and remains hospitalized throughout his treatments,
leaving Jim unable to make an income.
Anyone
who has ever had Jim help out knows of his amazing honesty and pure
kindness, it is for this reason I will be running for him - you
couldnŐt know a better person.
Please
consider sponsoring me in the June 8th Worcester Firefighters Memorial
6K run on behalf of Jim. Donations can be made by the mile or for
the race. 100% of each donation goes directly to the Stacy family
to help pay for the enormous medical bills and the salary temporarily
lost. Any help however big or small is greatly appreciated.
Checks
should be made out directly to Jim Stacy and mailed to Carraig Farm
179 West Rd, Ashby 01431.
