White Sand Homestead

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.

Meet #58.

She has one job — turn grass into some of the best beef in Mississippi — and she does it with the quiet confidence of an animal who has never once checked her email. 🐄

Look behind her: those are pecan trees. Our cattle graze right under the orchard — sun, shade, soil biology, and a whole lot of grass doing the work. No 18 sprays. No shortcuts. Grass-fed and grass-finished, the slow way — and we wouldn't change a thing.

Same cows on plates at some of the finest restaurants in New Orleans. Same cows headed for your weekend skillet. 🔥

No barn, no "access to the outdoors" loophole — just hens out on grass, scratching through the pecan orchard, doing exactly what chickens are built to do. Every bug they chase and blade of grass they nibble is what makes the yolks the deep yellow you'll never find in a grocery carton.

Our eggs sell out in about 20 minutes at market for a reason. If you want to skip the scramble, pre-order online and pick up at the market:

🥚 Chicken eggs — $10 / dozen
🦆 Duck eggs — $8 / half dozen

Happy hens, no antibiotics, no GMO grain. Just the good stuff.

Sunday mornings at the Crescent City Farmers Market look a little like this. 🌾

Some customers come for the grass-finished beef. Some come for the eggs (that sell out in about 20 minutes — sorry). And some of our very favorites just come to say hi from under a sun hat.

Thank you for making market day feel like family. This is the whole reason we load the truck before dawn and drive in from Poplarville every week — the food matters, but the folks matter more.

Come find us at the tent this week 👇

This is what permaculture looks like when it's actually working. 🌱

Every element on the homestead earns its keep — poultry that fertilize and forage under the pecan canopy, a pond that anchors the whole system, and land that gets healthier the more we work with it instead of against it.

No antibiotics. No growth hormones. No GMOs. Just food raised the way it's supposed to be.

We raise our cattle on open pasture, moved to fresh grass regularly — no feedlots, no shortcuts, and zero of the 18 chemical sprays we've turned down.

Whole, half, or quarter shares available — pick your commitment level for your home or restaurant, and we'll fill your freezer.

When a NOLA kitchen turns our eggs into art. 🍳🎨

Tonight is running a limited torta special — eggplant, banana ketchup, calamansi, and farm eggs from right here at White Sand Homestead. Our girls put in the work; the chefs put in the flair.

Get there before the special runs out — and if you want those same eggs on your own counter, find us at the market or grab a spot in line at whitesandhomestead.com. (Fair warning: they sell out in about 20 minutes.) 🥚💨

Not all heroes wear capes. Some just wear mud, a magnificent coat, and the best side-eye in Pearl River County. 🐷

Meet one of our pasture-raised pigs — and yes, that face means business. While other farm animals are out here doing… whatever it is they do, this guy has mastered the one super power that actually earns its keep: turning garden scraps, forage, and honest sunshine into the richest, most flavorful bacon you've ever put in a skillet.

Here's the thing though — that flavor isn't an accident. Our hogs are raised the slow way, out on real pasture with room to root, wallow, and be actual pigs. No crates. No shortcuts. Just clean living, good feed, and time. That's what you taste when the bacon hits the pan and your whole kitchen smells like Saturday morning: deeper color, real marbling, and a richness the grocery-store stuff simply can't fake.

So go ahead. Compare us to your caped crusaders. We'll be over here, sunning ourselves and doing the Lord's work — one glorious strip of bacon at a time.

"I turn vegetables into bacon. What's your super power?" 🥓
