SAND CREEK FARM & DAIRY

Sand Creek Farm is a family farm nestled in the rolling hills of Milam County, TX.  We believe in fresh, wholesome, nutrient dense, quality foods.

Sand Creek Farm is excited to provide healthy food to your family.  The products we offer come from our farm or other family farms that we select for their high standards. Everything we offer to your family is also what our family eats.  In fact, that is how we became farmers.  We wanted healthy foods, free of chemicals, free of antibiotics, free of GMO's, free of soy, and full of nutrients and could not find sources - so we started growing and producing our own. After 2 years of "hobby" farming we moved to our current farm of 170 acres and set up shop in 2006.  In 2009 we closed our business in Bryan, TX, our "real job" in the city, and became full time farmers.  We have now been farming for almost 10 years.  Having made the journey from "City Folks" to "Country Folks" - let us tell you, if we can do it, anyone can do it.  We are now lifetime farmers and would not have it any other way.

Our food being full of nutrients is the first and utmost importance to us; it completely changes how one farms.  In fact, the biology in the soil is where you begin when you farm for nutrient rich foods.  Did you know that microorganisms create a slime on the root of a plant that is the transfer medium for the nutrition from the soil to the plant?  Did you know that when a person sprays chemical fertilizers on their pastures that it kills their microorganisms?  Then one has to spray more and more, such a needless downward spiral, and then...the dust bowl comes again!  One must manage their soil to the soil's best potential.  Why?

The plant grows, the animal consumes the plant, then we consume the animal, or the animal's by-product such as milk or eggs or the vegetable grown in the soil.  This requires careful husbandry of the soil, careful administration of missing nutrients due to the natural leaching of the sandy loam soil, or the use of those nutients as they are removed by the plants that the farmer plans to harvest for human or animal consumption. This means finding lime, soft rock phosphates, healthy composted manures.  It also means rotational grazing of livestock, rotational planting of nitrogen fixing cover crops, and rotational cropping vegetables to decrease bug infestation in plants of the same family. A farmer must tend his land or his land will become deplete.  Careful attending to detail, planting guides created just for that one farm, care and concern for that which the Lord has provided to bless us. We find that we are soil and grass farmers more than any other kind of a farmer because everything we eat starts with the health of the soil.  The art of farming is a beautiful symphony of attention to detail and timing.

• Milk from rotationally grazed, grass fed only cows from our healthy disease free cows
  
• Farmstead Cheeses made here on the farm from our grass fed milk
  
• Grass Fed Beef: by the piece, half or whole.  We prefer to process the fatted calf that is about 500-600 lbs, still nursing on the grass fed only Momma cow.  Instead of weaning them to grow them out for beef, we process them on weaning day.  This is what many call Rose Beef, others call it the fatted calf, it is simply "the best"!  Some of our beef comes from our farm, some comes from Farmer Heath, a close friend with 1000 acres in our local area.
  
• Grass Fed Lamb: by the piece or whole.  Raised by Farmer Heath raising grass fed only sheep on organically managed pastures.
• Eggs: Pastured, soy free, GMO free raised by Farmer Heath.
  
• Pork: Pastured, soy free, GMO free by the piece, halves or whole.  We will deliver the hog to begin the processing proceedure and walk you through your cut sheet.  You pay the farm for the hog, you pay the processor for the processing.  We usually process in the Winter.
  
• Grains: Organic and grown in the USA.
• Dried Blueberries: Organic and grown in the USA.
• Vegetables: grown using organic methods on our farm and Farmer Heath's farm.
  
• Maple, Grade B: produced in VT by a high school with a "maple lab" where they train the highschool aged children the best way to maintain and organic "sugar bush" and make maple, with all organic methods, in effort to preserve the VT history of maple syrup.  They often send us about 200 gallons each year.
  
• Honey, Raw and local, within 30 miles from our farm.  Our beekeeper uses NO antibiotics, does NOT feed corn syrup, and DOES utilize essential oils in his beekeeping practices.
  
  We do several different bulk buys per year for better pricing and saving on shipping charges for our Farm Members .... maple, dried fruits, teas and spices, grains, cereals, flours, gourmet salts, and more.
