Epicurean Kentuckian: Spring Lamb with mint

"Lamb grown on Wendell Berry's Henry County farm, available at Smith-Berry Winery in Newcastle, KY, paired wonderfully with fresh mint from the back yard," Pen writes. Kentucky Spring Lamb was once a specialty known all over the Eastern United States, and was as well respected as Penn's Country Hams are today. The animals once were a major secondary income for Bluegrass tobacco farmers, who could use curing barns for sheep between burley seasons. Wendell Berry is well-known to South Central Kentucky. He delivered a major anti-war speech at Lindsey Wilson College for its May 4, 2005 Commencement, "Author Wendell Berry challenges LWC Class of 2005 to help end human violence."
