The objective of "Lambuary" 2015 is to assist Virginia sheep farmers in tackling their two major business obstacles: consumers’ lack of knowledge on how to find local sheep farmers and their products, as well as their unfamiliarity with how to prepare lamb meat.
For the month of January 2015, the College’s Cooperative Extension specialists Dr. Dahlia O'Brien and Dr. Theresa Nartea will partner with VSU Department of Hospitality Management professor Dr. Michelle Mosely and Chef Jeff Chapman, and VSU Agricultural Research Station Sheep Researcher, Dr. Stephan Wildeus, to launch an interdisciplinary pilot program called "Lambuary" to help grow Virginia’s lamb industry.
The “sheepish” initiative aims to introduce lamb meat to Virginia consumers by raising awareness on how to prepare tasty lamb dishes as well as, where to find local producers.
