Texas Farms

The below 5 Texas farms and ranches sell direct to consumers. Any heritage breeds, free-range or specialty services are listed next to the farm. Why buy local? Freshness, care, variety and the ability to deal directly with the person raising your livestock or poultry. This list isn't necessarily meant to be a complete listing, but more of a listing of consumer-oriented farms that focus on quality. If you are looking for a great place to buy fresh meat then stop here first. Also, please shoot me your experiences (positive or negative) or help me add any that should be listed here.

We moved to a ranch in Decatur, Texas back in August of 2001. Being located on the old Chisolm Trail, we decided that it was only fitting that we should raise Texas Longhorn cattle. We started with 2 head in 2002 and now run anywhere from 20 to 50 head of cattle. Cattle and lean longhorn beef are for sale at all times.

At Dewberry Hills Farm, we raise pastured poultry and we've been told that it's really good chicken. We never use antibiotics and all our pastures are chemical free and have been for years. Come see us at the farmers markets in Austin.
