It’s almost time for our next round of chicken processing!

Did you know we accept custom packaging requests?

Are four thighs in a package too many for your household? Let us know, and we can package fewer together. Prefer bone-in chicken breasts instead of boneless? We can do that too!

If there’s a particular cut or package size that works better for your family, please let us know before packaging day so we can prepare it especially for you!

As local farmers, we’ve been watching more and more people in our community and surrounding areas search for better options when purchasing meat—especially beef.

With all concerns currently coming to light, we don’t believe this is the time to simply push our products or turn people’s uncertainty into a sales pitch.

👉We believe this is the time to encourage people to start asking questions.❗️

Where was the animal born?
Where was it raised and who raised it?
How was it raised? Did it live in the same spot its whole life?
What was it fed?
Were pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or other chemicals used?
Where was it processed?

Is the person selling it able and willing to tell you the full story?

Ask these questions about everything you purchase—not only beef, but pork, chicken, eggs and every other product you feed your family.

And don’t stop after asking once. Continue following up with the business. A trustworthy business should be willing to provide clear, consistent answers—not become defensive or avoid the conversation.

Don’t let vague answers become the norm. You deserve to know where your food comes from and how it was produced.

And don’t settle for the word “local.” Ask what “local” actually means.

Was the animal truly raised locally, or is the business simply located nearby? A local business does not automatically mean its products were locally produced.

“Local” shouldn’t be a marketing buzzword. It should come with real, specific answers.

Know your farmer. Know your food. Keep asking questions. You deserve the full story behind what’s on your plate.

Are you even a gardener if you’ve never used an old kitchen utensil because you couldn’t find your garden shovel? 😂

After months of rendering, mixing, testing, sniffing, naming, and covering every available surface with soap supplies, our TALLOW SOAP LINE is officially launching!

We have unscented bars, rugged bars, feminine bars, fresh bars, and a few with names that may make you laugh before you even smell them.

It’s another way we’re honoring the whole animal, reducing waste, and turning something often overlooked into something you’ll actually look forward to using.

And we aren’t done yet! 👀

More scents are coming, and we have even more tallow products being created and tested behind the scenes. This launch is only the beginning, and we can’t wait to show y’all everything else we’ve been working on!

From pasture to soap dish—it all has a purpose. 💙

Our goal is to post every day because we want y’all to feel like you’re part of our journey. But then there are days like today—Farmers Market days—when posting gets put on pause because we’re too busy living the story we planned to share!

It starts with packing preorders and preparing for walk-up customers, followed by loading everything, driving to the market and setting up.

Then the market opens—and Lake Charles Farm & Table Market customers y’all showed up!

No joke, we had a line of customers for the first hour and a half! ❤️

Afterward, we loaded everything back up, drove home and unloaded the few unsold packages we had left.

As busy as the day was, there’s something so peaceful about pulling back into the farm in the evening and seeing this view—the girls spread across the pasture, foraging one last time before heading to their sleeping spots for the night.

It’s the kind of moment that makes you slow down, take a deep breath and remember exactly why you do it all.

So, we may not have posted earlier in the day, but it certainly wasn’t because nothing was happening. We were simply too busy living it—and thanks to all of you, it was one incredible Farmers Market day!

🦃 THANKSGIVING TURKEY PRE-ORDERS ARE ALMOST HERE!

You’ve spent hours—maybe even days—cooking, chopping, stirring, seasoning…and trying to keep everyone out of the kitchen.

Then comes the big moment: the turkey hits the table. 🤩

And when someone asks, “Where did you get this turkey?” you can proudly say:

“I know exactly where it came from.”

Not some mystery turkey from an unknown source, raised with chemicals and practices you know nothing about—that’s for sure! 😂

Our turkeys are raised right here on our farm, where they spend their days enjoying sunshine, fresh air, green pasture, and doing all the wonderfully ridiculous things turkeys do.

Happy, pasture-raised turkeys make for incredible-quality meat—and that difference deserves a place at the center of your Thanksgiving table.

Get those roasting pans ready because pre-orders are right around the corner! 🧡🦃

🍷 “I’ll have the Merlot.”

The steak, that is. 😂🥩

Merlot Steak is lean, surprisingly tender and full of rich, beefy flavor. It’s one of those lesser-known cuts that quietly steals the show once it hits the plate!

Merlot Steak may have a fancy name, but it’s easy to prepare and even easier to enjoy!

So, why is it called Merlot Steak? Its name comes from its deep, wine-red color—similar to a glass of Merlot. But don’t worry, there’s no wine in the steak! 🍷🥩

Give it a quick sear, don’t overcook it, let it rest and slice it thinly against the grain. Then take full credit for serving a steakhouse-worthy dinner at home. 😉

There are only two small Merlot steaks per animal, making this cut extra special—and one of beef’s best-kept secrets! 💎

Who’s ready to give Merlot Steak a try? 🙋‍♀️

🐥 It’s Chick Pickup Day!

We’re out here getting everything ready for 900 day-old chicks arriving today!

They’ll be divided between our two brooders, where they’ll stay warm and protected while they grow their feathers and become strong enough to handle life out on pasture.

Another round of pasture-raised chicken starts today!
