Our people & processes

Lumina is the result of the meticulous processes and rigorous standards that are adhered to by our people. Here you can learn more about the roles of the people who work together to create the world's best lamb.

The Match Maker

AKA Nature’s Helper

"We work hand-in-hand with Mother Nature to nurture the best possible breed of lamb."

Our mission to produce the best lamb in the world started with our Match Makers. They worked tirelessly to craft our unique genetic blend, and create an entirely new breed. These exclusive rams are used by our Lumina farmers to ensure Lumina’s heritage traits are continued down the line.
