Our family is committed to doing things the right way, offering quality that only nature can provide. Our primary product is grassfed, grain-free Raw Milk, however we believe that if a farm is to be sustainable it must have multiple enterprises and various food sources available to the family. We have a diverse assortment of livestock: dairy cattle, grass fed beef, egg layers, broilers, turkeys and hogs. We also cultivate quite a few crops for forage as well as a small orchard and a rather large garden. We strive to provide the most nutrient dense food for our family and our customers.
We moved to the farm to raise our children. The work ethic and sense of purpose that can be learned on a farm is difficult to duplicate in town. We planned on having a homestead with a small amount of various farm animals. We never expected to become farmers. It is amazing how quickly life can change.
We are truly blessed to be here on this farm.
Farm Day Plowing, this is really the old fashioned way.
Wagon Rides for everyone
Friends came for a ride.
Charlotte taking a dip with a cow in the pond and Rebecca holding one of the new piglets.
9 Large Black piglets hiding in the hay and Charlotte, Majestic and Matilda resting and thinking, "Whew those piglets take lots of energy. We need a nap."
Alysha and the girls in 2006 and 2008 at their favorite goat farm, Star Haven Farms, in Iola, TX. It is an annual event to go play with the baby goats and have their photos taken by "Gran", Karen Hadaway, our good friend. Time to go again in 2009 now that baby Lilly has joined us.
