Tyner Pond Farm

Rule one of regenerative farming: no bare soil. Ever.

The herd eats what they want. What they don't eat, they trample down onto the ground. That residue feeds the soil microbes, and the microbes feed the next flush of grass.

This is how we build soil, here in Greenfield, Indiana.

We're Tyner Pond Farm. Good food comes from a place.

The herd just moved through here. What they didn't eat, they trampled down — and that residue feeds the soil microbes.

No bare soil. Ever.

We're Tyner Pond Farm. Good food comes from a place.

Meet George. He's Jim's dog, and he takes pasture patrol seriously.

Every farm needs a supervisor.

I started keto at 64, weighing about 193 pounds. A little over two years later, I’m 66 and holding around 160. The weight has stayed off, I have energy, and running is a big part of my life again.

After 15 years away from running, I got back into it last year. Now I’m getting ready for the Tecumseh 50K on October 17 and the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon on November 7. I certainly didn’t see that coming.

Along with keeping carbohydrates low, I eliminated seed oils and ultra-processed foods. I’m happy eating this way. But feeling good is only part of what I want to know, so I get blood work every six months.

My latest results include some things I’m pleased with, including lower triglycerides and steady A1c. They also include things that need attention. My ApoB and LDL are above my lab’s preferred levels, and I’m taking that seriously.

I’m staying keto and easing up on the extra butter. I was literally eating butter. :-)

I’ve shared the numbers, what’s held up, and what I’m changing in a new blog post. Full update in the first comment.

Isaac and Eli have done a great job with this year's turkeys. Our first batch is available now, and I wanted to share a look at the birds out on pasture.

There's a lot of care behind a full-flavored turkey at the center of your Thanksgiving table.

Order your turkey now and schedule delivery up to four weeks ahead. Choose an available delivery date at checkout.

If your holiday is more than four weeks away, plan on an earlier delivery. You'll find full ordering and storage details on the product page.

Supply will be limited this year. The earlier birds tend to be smaller, so if you're looking for a 15-, 16-, or 17-pound turkey, it's better to order early. Check the weight selector for all available sizes.

Thank you for supporting the farm and the people behind your meal.

A few weeks with the Lancaster skillet, and it's the pan I reach for most. Eggs slide in it the way they do in my old Griswold — the smooth, machined cooking surface is the difference. I wrote up the full comparison on the blog — link's in the comments. Thanks to Lancaster Cast Iron for sending it our way.

Buying grass-fed beef from a farm can fit right into your regular shopping.

Here at Tyner Pond Farm in Greenfield, most of our customers are shopping for meals they'll eat soon. A few packages of ground beef, a roast for a day when there's time to cook, or a steak for the weekend. You can choose the cuts and amounts that fit your household.

Our beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. Our cattle eat grass and forage, including hay when they need it, through the finishing stage. We don't finish them on grain.

For a first order, think about the dinners you already make. Ground beef fits burgers, tacos and a skillet dinner. A chuck roast suits slow cooking. Choose something familiar and get to know the beef.

Enter your ZIP code to see the options for your address. Eligible local orders receive free delivery when they meet the minimum shown for their ZIP code. We also ship eligible products to surrounding states. Shipping orders leave on Tuesdays, and eligible one-day FedEx Ground transit starts after dispatch.

I've put together a guide to buying grass-fed beef in Indiana, including choosing cuts, checking package sizes and finding delivery options. Start with a few meals and come back when you need more. The guide is in the first comment.

Our neighbor Christi made a pot of Italian sausage and white bean soup with Tyner Pond Farm sausage, and sent us the photos from start to finish.

Her dad grew up in the Bronx. A little New York connection, a pound of local Indiana pork, and a good dinner to share.

Follow the photos from browned sausage to vegetables, the finished pot, and a bowl ready for dinner. We put together the story and a printable slow-cooker recipe so you can make a pot of your own.
