We are a local family farm serving the Dallas Metro area and Northeast Texas since 1984.
We use and teach sustainable agricultural practices, including:
-
Organically grown vegetables
Grown organically and sold locally. Pick up at nearby Farmer's Markets or here at the farm. We grow your basic garden fare without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.
Enjoy a red meat with all the benefits of grass-fed nutrition. Did you get your CLA today? Meat and dairy products from grass-fed animals can provide 300-500% more CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) than the common 50% hay /silage and 50% grain-fed animals.
Our lambs graze on all type of pasture plants and convert this vegetarian diet into great tasting meat.
-
Free-range eggs from Heritage Hens
Our hens enjoy all the spent vegetables from the garden, insects, grasses, seeds, forbs and wildflowers, legumes and supplements when needed.
-
School for Sustainable Agriculture

Locavore? -or- Localvore? Welcome!
The New Oxford American Dictionary chose locavore, a person who seeks out locally produced food, as its word of the year 2007. The local foods movement is gaining momentum as people discover that the best-tasting and most sustainable choices are foods that are fresh, seasonal, and grown close to home. Some locavores draw inspiration from the The 100-Mile Diet - A Year of Local Eating or from advocates of local eating like Barbara Kingsolver whose book Animal, Vegetable, Miraclechronicles her family's attempts to eat locally. Others just follow their taste buds to farmers' markets, Community Supported Agriculture programs, and community gardens.
