Rural Innovation Support Service - Isle of Skye Mutton
SAC Consulting are carrying out a project investigating the potential for Mutton to be showcased on Isle of Skye restaurants, cafes and catering menus. The Isle of Skye has been a sheep producing island for centuries but has experienced a slow decline in sheep numbers over the past 5-10 years due to a reduction in sheep profitability and feasibility. To rejuvenate this, we are investigating the opportunity to market Old Season Lamb (12-24 months old) and/or Mutton (2 years +) within the buoyant Isle of Skye tourism sector.
