We breed the sheep, the ewes have lambs that jump and play, then they grow out lustrous wool for us to use.

We plant the seeds that grow tall and healthy to give us pleasure in our gardens and food on the table.

So continues the CYCLE OF LIFE at Mt. Bruce Station. We invite you to join us for a day in the country and learn how you can also be part of this heritage of the land and fibers and help pass it along to others and future generations.

Rack of Lamb with Fresh Plum & Ginger Marinade
* 1 lamb rack, 8 ribs, approx. 1 1/2 lbs. trimmed weight
* 10 oz. red plums (3 medium)
* 3 Tb. onion, finely minced
* 1/2 tsp. fresh ginger root, peeled & finely minced

Directions: Lightly score the back of rack in a diamond pattern without penetrating skin.
     Pit plums and cut each into 8 wedges: combine with all remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until plums are finely minced. Coat rack well on all sides with this mixture and let marinate at room temperature 2 hours, turning and basting 4 times. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to gently scrape off marinate and reserve it.

     Spread fire apart or move meat to lower heat section, or raise grill to 6" from flame to reduce temperature to 350 . Put meat bone side down and spread half the reserved marinade over it. Cook 8 minutes. Turn rack fat side down and spread with remaining marinade. Cook another 10 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes then carve. Meat should be rare to medium rare.
