Atkins Ranch is expanding its regenerative meat blends with 'Primal Blend Ground Lamb,' a ground lamb mix that incorporates liver and heart into grass-fed lamb cuts for people seeking more protein-dense meals. The nationwide rollout gives Paleo, keto and other protein-conscious shoppers a single package that adds organ meats without changing their basic dinner format.
The lamb comes from more than 100 family farms, and 79% of those farms have 'Land to Market' verification. That verification tracks ecological outcomes tied to regenerative land management, while the sourcing keeps the product tied to farms that aim to improve soil health and protect natural resources.
Available at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide starting Oct. 21, the blend brings regenerative lamb into a mainstream grocery setting. It widens shelf space for organ-inclusive meats, making a niche protein format easier to buy during everyday shopping trips.
