Bland Family Farm

09/03/2026

Our stories are pretty similar (if you overlook the professional NFL career 🫣). I left a career I loved to farm and I’ve never regretted it. Farming isn’t the easier path, but there’s something about building a life around the land, feeding people, and doing work that matters that’s hard to put a price on.

Heat index of 115° today, our boxer dog certainly figured out how to stay cool. It’s the perfect drinking level as well.

NEW! Meet the Baseball Steak.
Never heard of it? You’re not alone, it’s cut from the most tender part of the top sirloin, the Baseball Steak (also called the Filet of Sirloin) delivers incredible tenderness and rich beef flavor without the filet mignon price tag. That’s why it’s often called the “poor man’s filet.”

Perfect for the grill, a cast iron skillet, or anywhere you want steakhouse-quality beef at home, just in time for Independence Day grilling! 🇺🇸

Available now IN STORE ONLY / while they last.
1203 W Walnut, Jacksonville

Ever dreamed of having your own tire swing?
Now's your chance.

We're cleaning up and found a retired combine tire looking for a second life. We'd really love to see them go to a family who can turn it into years of backyard memories.

If you've got the upcycle itch, send us a DM to arrange a pickup time at the farm.
