GRASS-FED BEEF
The grass-fed, grass-finished beef on our farm comes from Heritage Breed Red Poll Cattle. These hardy cows known for their flavor and tenderness have never seen a piece of grain and will never smell a feed lot. Instead they are moved daily throughout their lives to enjoy fresh pastures of native grass. Our intensive grazing system enables our cows to help regenerate the earth by putting carbon back into the land, bringing the soil back to life.
PASTURE-RAISED CHICKEN
Our chickens are pasture raised. They are fed a diet of non-soy, non-GMO feed, extra fruit and vegetables from the farmer's meals, and whatever grass and bugs they can forage. They spend the first four weeks of their life under a heat lamp in our brooders. They then move onto pasture where they always have access to fresh grass.
Our Story
Our city slicker family officially took the leap to ranching and farming in 2018! We now live on 600 sprawling acres in Northeast Texas and have dedicated ourselves to healing the land on our little piece of earth, while evoking the very best food from it.
For many years we were disconnected from our food. As far as we were concerned, steak was whipped up at Central Market and broccoli was made at Whole Foods. Now we know exactly where our food comes from and although you may not be ready to take the farming leap, we want you to know exactly where your food comes from too.

Good Life
The good life for us consists of values such as self-care, spiritual fitness, integrity, community, courage, gratitude and joy. We are a family that has experienced chronic illness, addiction and other mental health issues, therefore the “good life” must come first for us. The values of “good life” are woven into the way we care for each other, the way we tend the earth, and the way we farm.
Good Earth
Our goal is to not only leave our land better than we found it but to also do our part to reverse climate change. Therefore, we prioritize farm biodiversity as well as sequester carbon back into the soil, regenerating soil organic matter. This is accomplished by mimicking the movements of nature from bygone eras.
There was a time many years ago when the animals followed one another across the prairie each doing their job to take care of the earth. We mimic this by rotating our animals so that cows, goats, chickens, turkeys and sheep follow each other throughout the land creating a symphony of ecological abundance.
Good Food
We believe that the better the food our animals get, the better the food you get. The way we aspire to care for the earth allows our animals to eat in the most natural way possible. We also use no pesticides and feed only top quality non-GMO grain (the cows and sheep are completely grass fed/grass finished.)
There is growing evidence that the best quality product, whether meat or eggs, is produced by keeping the animals in a low stress environment. We endeavor to see our farm from the point of view of the animals we are raising and create an atmosphere that is as stress free as possible.
Stout Creek
One of Susan’s ancestors was Texas pioneer Capt. Henry Stout. Stout arrived in the area close to our farm around 1848 and by the 1850s was using Stout Creek to power one of the first mills in Wood County. Stout Creek is 9 1/2 miles long. A portion of it runs along the Southeast property line of our farm.
