White Sand Homestead Permaculture regenerative farm offers grass-fed & finished beef & lamb, forested pigs + eggs from pasture-raised chickens.

On menu at top New Orleans restaurants and sold Tues & Sun New Orleans Crescent City Farmer & Slidell's Sat Camellia Farmers Market I'm Allen Snelling and I care deeply about the state of agriculture and our food system to the extent that I'm now a farmer! While failure has been incredible teacher, the basic goal to operate a permaculture based farm is being realized and appreciated by more chefs and the increasing number of customers I meet at farmers markets. About the farm: White Sand Homestead is a permaculture farm on rolling green, verdant hills in Poplarville, MS. We provide New Orleans' top restaurants with exceptional grass-fed and finished beef, pork, and lamb, along with eggs from pastured ducks and chickens. I manage the farm and at White Sand Homestead, responsible, humane practices, focusing on improved soil and animal health is our priority. Through my stewardship, the farm’s pecan orchard is beginning to rejuvenate and is contributing to the animals' diet and rich soil. New Orleans and Slidell consumers can purchase White Sand Homestead’s offerings at the Crescent City Farmers Market in New Orleans on Tuesdays and Sundays, and at the Camellia City Farmers Market in Slidell on Saturdays. Come introduce yourself and let me know what you think about our grass fed offerings.

Ladies 56 and 59 came down to the fence this morning to see what we were up to. Their pasture-mate kept her head down because there was grass to eat and she had her priorities straight. 🐄

Fall is settling in on the farm. The light’s going gold in the oaks, the mornings are cool, and the herd is out on pasture doing what cattle are built to do. That means grass, sunshine, room to roam, and nothing else.

Every cut of White Sand Homestead beef starts here. It’s grass-fed and grass-finished on our land in Poplarville. No grain, no shortcuts.

Fall is a good time to stock the freezer. Come see us at market this weekend or send us a message to reserve your beef. 🌾

This is what grass-fed looks like up close. Our cattle spend their days on pasture, eat what the land grows, and are handled calmly and often, which is why they walk right up to say hello.

Happy, low-stress animals on healthy soil: that's the whole point.

Tried to take a quick selfie. Got photobombed. 🐑

Nobody on this farm gets a moment alone, least of all when the sheep think it might be snack time. Our Katahdin/Dorper flock is curious, a little nosy, and convinced every person who walks through the gate is carrying treats.

Days out here are long and the work is real, but it's hard to stay serious with a face like that peeking over your shoulder.

📍 Catch us this week in Slidell (Sat), City Park (Sun), and Uptown (Tue).

New arrivals under the heat lamp 🐣

This batch of ducklings is settling in on a bed of straw, working the feeder like they've got somewhere to be. For the next few weeks, the brooder is home: warm, dry, and fed around the clock until they're feathered out and ready for pasture.

On pasture, ducks work for the land. They forage bugs and slugs, turn over ground cover, and put fertility back into the soil as they go. In return, they give us the rich, big-yolked duck eggs our market regulars keep asking about (and that keep selling out).

Watch this space. These little ones grow up fast.

📍 Find us this week in Slidell (Sat), City Park (Sun), and Uptown (Tue).

We turned down 18 chemical sprays this year.

Every single one would have been cheaper. Every one would have been faster. A couple would've saved us a genuinely bad week.

We said no to all 18.

Not out of purity — out of math on a longer clock. Spray the pasture and you fix this month's problem while quietly killing the soil biology that fixes every month after it. We'd rather build from the ground up: rotational grazing, diverse forage, and a soil food web we've spent years rebuilding.

The tradeoff is real. It costs us. It's slower. And it's the whole reason the beef tastes like it does — and the land gets better every season instead of more dependent.

So, honestly: would you pay more for food raised this way? Real answers only. Even the skeptical ones. 👇

Skip the sellout — pre-order for market pickup. 🥩🥚

If you've ever shown up to our table only to find the eggs already gone (they vanish in about 20 minutes), this one's for you.

Head to WhiteSandHomestead.com, place your order online, and we'll have it bagged and waiting for you at the market — grass-finished beef & lamb, forested heritage pork, and pasture-raised chicken & duck eggs. Best selection, none of the guesswork.

You'll find us this week at:
🟢 Saturday — Camellia City Market, Slidell
🟢 Sunday — Crescent City Farmers Market, City Park (NOLA)
🟢 Tuesday — Crescent City Farmers Market, Uptown (NOLA)

Everything raised regeneratively right here in Poplarville, MS — the same farm feeding kitchens like Emeril's, Commander's Palace, and Cochon. Pre-order once and you'll never fight the crowd for eggs again.

👉 Order ahead: WhiteSandHomestead.com

Nobody here punches a clock, but everybody's got a job.

The hens work the pasture behind the cattle — scratching through the grass, spreading it out, cleaning up the bugs a herd leaves behind. The cow grazes. Our guardian dog keeps watch from the gate. It's less a system we manage than one we set up and then stay out of the way of.

This is what pasture-raised actually looks like: animals doing what they're built to do, on grass that's never taken a chemical spray. It's also why our eggs sell out in about 20 minutes at market.

Catch us this weekend — Camellia City (Slidell) Saturday, Crescent City (City Park) Sunday. 🥚🐓

"My daughter cleaned her entire plate and never knew there were organ meats in the blend." 🍝

That's the whole idea. 💛

Our ground beef, blended with heart and liver, is designed to disappear into the meals your family already loves: spaghetti, tacos, meatloaf, and burgers. Mild flavor, cooks exactly like regular ground beef, and quietly packs in some of the most nutrient-dense cuts on the animal.

No lectures. No weird aftertaste. No "eat this because it's good for you" battles at the dinner table. Just a real, whole-food upgrade to a meal that's already in your rotation.

Grass-fed and grass-finished right here in Poplarville. 🌱

Kid-approved. Parent-approved. Coming to your rotation next. 😉

👉 Grab the blend at whitesandhomestead.com or come see us at market.
