Today was a first for me in more than 20 years—I made homemade salsa with vegetables fresh from our garden here at K&M Heritage Farms.

I should be excited… and I am. I honestly can’t wait to crack open a jar after it has had a little time to come together. There’s just something special about turning something you’ve grown with your own hands into food you’ll share around the table.

But if I’m being truthful, today carried a little melancholy with it too.

For years, we could never plant enough tomatoes. It wasn’t because we canned them or sold them—it was because we had girls. Every afternoon when they got home from school, they’d head straight to the garden, salt shaker in hand, and before I knew it, another ripe tomato had disappeared. They’d stand right there between the rows, laughing, talking about their day, and eating tomatoes fresh off the vine like they were apples.

No matter how many plants we added the next season, it never seemed to be enough to keep up with those after-school snacks.

Today, as I was peeling tomatoes and chopping peppers for salsa, I couldn’t help but think about those sweet little girls who aren’t so little anymore. The garden is still here. The tomatoes are just as good. But somehow it’s a little quieter.

That’s the funny thing about farming. You’re not just growing vegetables. You’re growing memories, traditions, and moments that one day sneak up on you while you’re standing over a pot of homemade salsa.

So here’s to the harvest, to the memories, and to hoping those girls still stop every now and then to eat a tomato with a little salt—just like they did when they were kids.

Because around here, where faith, family, and farming meet, the sweetest things we grow have never been the vegetables.

There are some days on the farm that feed your stomach… and others that feed your soul. Today was one of those days.

We spent the day harvesting Pink Eye Purple Hull peas and Peaches & Cream sweet corn here at K&M Heritage Farms, and before long it felt like I had stepped back into my childhood.

As I was cutting corn today, I found myself thinking about my mom. She absolutely loved homemade creamed corn. I can still see her standing over the same old corn cutter I used today, running ear after ear across those blades. Before long, corn juice would be splattered all over her glasses until she could barely see. She’d laugh, walk over to the sink to wash them off, and say with a grin, “The blind is leading the blind.” Somehow, the corn always tasted a little better after that.

When we were kids, we’d all gather under this same big oak tree shelling peas and shucking corn. Instead of hauling the scraps away, we’d toss the corn husks and pea hulls over the fence to the Brahman cows, who were always waiting patiently for their treat. These days, it’s our Highland cattle standing there doing the waiting. Some things change… and some things never should.

I also remember getting paid a whole 25 cents for every bushel of peas we shelled. Back then, we thought we were getting rich! Looking back now, those quarters weren’t really what we were earning. We were learning the value of hard work, family, stewardship, and taking pride in doing something with your own hands.

That’s why this farm means so much to us.

This isn’t a hobby. It isn’t something we picked up because it became popular. This is how we were raised. It’s how we were taught. It’s the way we still choose to live today.

Every basket of vegetables, every animal we care for, every seed we plant carries a little piece of the generations before us. We hope that by sharing this life with you, we’re helping keep those traditions alive for the generations still to come.

Where faith, family, and farming meet.

🦆⚓ From the Farm to the Water and Back Again 🎣🌾

One question Michelle and I get asked all the time is:

“How do y’all find time to do all of it?”

The truth is, we’re not always sure ourselves.

Between our full-time careers, raising livestock, tending gardens, maintaining equipment, canning produce, collecting eggs, building fences, and operating K&M Heritage Farms LLC, there never seems to be enough hours in the day. Yet somehow, we always find time for one of our greatest passions—life on the water.

Long before K&M Heritage Farms was founded, our love affair with the outdoors was already deeply rooted. While many people think of us as farmers and homesteaders, the reality is that we are equally at home in a boat as we are on a tractor.

Every fall and winter, you’ll find us at our little camp near Fort Adams, Mississippi. Nestled along the mighty Mississippi River, it’s where we spend countless days and nights chasing blue cats and flatheads while waiting for the next flight of ducks to work the river bottoms. The crackle of a wood stove on a cold winter evening, the sound of ducks trading overhead at first light, and the anticipation of a rod bending under the weight of a big catfish are some of our favorite experiences in life.

In fact, our love fishing runs so deep that we even maintain a Commercial Fishing License with the State of Mississippi.

When summer rolls around, our adventures often take us west to the Bolivar Peninsula in Texas. Every year we make the pilgrimage to stand knee-deep in the Gulf surf, battling oversized Bull Redfish that can pull drag harder than fish twice their size. There is something special about watching the sun rise over the Gulf while waiting for that first screaming run.

And when we’re not on the river or the beach, we’re usually somewhere along the Gulf Coast aboard our boat out of Pensacola Beach. We spend our time exploring new ports, discovering hidden beaches, and making offshore runs in search of Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, and whatever else happens to be swimming beneath the blue water that day.

For us, farming, fishing, hunting, boating, and homesteading aren’t separate hobbies. They’re all part of the same lifestyle. They’re about providing food for our family, making memories together, and staying connected to the land and water that God has blessed us with.

Of course, every successful fishing trip eventually ends in the kitchen.

One recipe has become so popular among our family and friends that it’s requested almost every time we bring home a cooler full of catfish.

Our signature:

🔥 Blackened Catfish with Crawfish & Bacon Alfredo Sauce 🔥

Fresh Mississippi River catfish fillets are coated in a bold blackening seasoning and seared in cast iron until perfectly flaky. Then they’re topped with a rich homemade Alfredo sauce loaded with crispy bacon and sweet Louisiana crawfish tails (or shrimp), creating a dish that perfectly blends the flavors of the river, the Gulf Coast, and the South.

Served alongside fresh cornbread, garden vegetables, or Jimmy Red corn grits, it’s the kind of meal that brings everyone back for seconds—and usually asking for the recipe before they leave.

At K&M Heritage Farms LLC, whether we’re planting seeds, feeding livestock, chasing catfish, hunting ducks, or running offshore for Mahi, we’re simply trying to live a life centered around faith, family, and the outdoors.

And if we’re fortunate enough to gather around the table afterward with family and friends, then we consider it a pretty good day.

❤️ “Where Faith, Family, Farming… and a Little Fishing Meet.”

We are winding down on green beans, but the squash and zucchini is still coming in and we have to make room for the peas and sweet corn, so here’s your opportunity to grab some before we let the goats in to clean it up for us!

Some of my favorite memories growing up revolve around the kitchen table and the traditions that came with it. Every summer, as the garden began producing more tomatoes, peppers, and onions than anyone could eat fresh, my Grandma Durham would start making her famous chili relish. The smell of it simmering on the stove for hours is something I’ll never forget.

Back then, we didn’t think much about it. We just knew that when Grandma started putting up jars of chili relish, good meals were about to get even better.

If you’ve never had homemade chili relish, it’s hard to describe. It’s somewhere between a relish and a mildly sweet salsa, made from ripe tomatoes, green peppers, onions, vinegar, and a blend of warm spices. It’s not overly spicy, but it has a rich flavor that complements just about anything you put it on.

At our house, it found its way onto hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and even big bowls of speckled butter beans. A spoonful stirred into peas, beans, or greens could take a simple meal and make it something special. Looking back, I think that’s part of what made it so popular—nothing fancy, just simple garden ingredients transformed into something delicious.

One of the things I love most about chili relish is how customizable it is. The traditional recipe is mildly sweet and flavorful, but if you enjoy a little more kick, it’s easy to turn it into a sweet-heat version by adding your favorite hot peppers. Jalapeños, cayennes, serranos, habaneros, or whatever your garden provides can be worked into the recipe to make it uniquely your own.

These are the kinds of recipes that tell the story of a family, a garden, and a way of life that many of us were blessed to grow up with. They remind us that some of the best foods aren’t found in restaurants or grocery stores—they come from a garden, a canning pot, and a recipe card that’s been passed down through generations.

🥚 From Our Coop to Your Table 🥚

We currently have eggs available for $3 per dozen!

One thing you’ll notice about every carton of eggs that leaves K&M Heritage Farms LLC is that each carton is labeled and every egg is individually stamped.

Why do we go through the extra effort?

Because we want our customers to know that every single egg has passed through our hands and been personally inspected before it ever makes it into a carton. We carefully examine each egg for cleanliness, shell quality, and overall condition before packaging. Our carton labels are dated so you know exactly when that inspection and packaging process took place.

In a world where most food travels through countless hands before reaching your kitchen, we believe there is value in knowing exactly where your food came from and who handled it.

Our farm fresh “yard eggs” come from free-range chickens that spend their days scratching, foraging, hunting insects, and enjoying sunshine the way chickens were intended to. Our birds have never been fed medicated feed and have never received antibiotics.

Many people are surprised to learn that a freshly laid, unwashed egg still has its natural protective coating, often called the “bloom.” This protective layer helps seal the shell and can greatly extend shelf life.

📌 Farm Fresh Egg Storage Guidelines

🥚 Unwashed Eggs Stored at Room Temperature:
• Generally remain fresh for 2-4 weeks when kept in a cool, dry location.

🥚 Unwashed Eggs Stored in the Refrigerator:
• Commonly remain fresh for 3-6 months, and often longer when properly refrigerated.

While farm fresh eggs can safely be stored unrefrigerated for a period of time thanks to their natural bloom, we always recommend refrigeration. Not only does refrigeration provide an additional layer of food safety, but it significantly extends shelf life and helps preserve peak freshness.

When you purchase eggs from K&M Heritage Farms LLC, you’re not just buying eggs. You’re buying a product that has been carefully produced, individually inspected, and packaged with the same attention to detail that we use to feed our own family.

Thank you for supporting local agriculture and trusting us to provide your family with wholesome, naturally raised food.

“Where Faith, Family, and Farming Meet”

Note: Egg shelf life can vary based on storage temperature and conditions. We recommend using the float test or cracking eggs into a separate bowl when using older eggs to verify freshness.

The hardest part about mowing grass at K&M? Mowing around the chickens! 🤣😂🐔

These girls have learned quickly that the mower stirs up the grasshoppers and other insects, so they run toward it like construction workers to a food truck! The problem with that is, well, chickens are dumb and won’t get out of the dang way! 🤦🏼‍♂️😂🤣

Welcome Our New Ducks to K&M Heritage Farms LLC🦆

We are excited to introduce the newest members of the K&M Heritage Farms family—our beautiful Muscovy and Runner ducks!

A huge shout out to Lolly Gag Farm for helping us out! If you don’t already follow them, you should. They are amazing people from a family that has been deeply rooted in our local small farm network for many years, and they have not forgotten the value of a handshake!

As with all new arrivals to our homestead, these precious little ducklings will spend their first few days in quarantine. This is an important part of our farm’s biosecurity plan, helping us ensure they are healthy, stress-free, and properly acclimated to their new surroundings before joining the rest of the farm family.

Once their quarantine period is complete, they’ll graduate to one of the most exciting jobs on the farm: free-ranging around our family pond!

Many people don’t realize just how valuable ducks can be on a homestead pond. These feathered helpers provide a number of benefits, including:

✅ Natural Insect Control – Ducks are voracious eaters of mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and countless other nuisance insects.

✅ Slug & Snail Patrol – They help protect gardens by reducing populations of slugs and snails that can damage crops.

✅ Nutrient Cycling – Their droppings help fertilize surrounding vegetation, contributing to a healthy pond ecosystem.

✅ Algae & Aquatic Plant Management – Ducks naturally forage on many aquatic plants and organisms, helping maintain balance in the pond.

✅ Predator Awareness – Ducks are surprisingly alert and often sound the alarm when unfamiliar animals enter the area.

✅ Fresh Eggs – Runner ducks are excellent layers and can provide a steady supply of rich, nutritious eggs throughout much of the year.

Muscovy ducks bring their own special talents as well. Unlike most ducks, they are exceptionally quiet, excellent foragers, and are famous for their appetite for flies and mosquitoes. They are among the best natural pest-control animals a homestead can have.

Beyond all of their practical benefits, ducks simply bring life and personality to a farm. There is something peaceful about watching a flock paddle across a pond at sunrise or forage along the shoreline in the evening.

We can’t wait to watch these little ones grow and settle into their new home where faith, family, and farming meet.

Stay tuned for updates as they take their first swim in the K&M Heritage Farms pond!

It’s been a busy couple of days on the farm! We have put up 52 quarts of squash/ zucchini and 24 pints of green beans.

What does that mean?

Our pantry and freezers are officially at capacity for the three mentioned vegtables and we are now offering them for sale to the local public.

Yellow squash and zucchini = $2.50lb
Green beans = $3.00lb

These are chemical free, heirloom variety vegetables. They are going to have more blemishes than you are used to seeing on the mass produced, hybrid crap at the grocery store, but man does the flavor make up for it!

First come, first severed, and while supplies last.
