Here are some of the places I have researched and/or purchased from over the year's. I hope that you find this information useful and get the opportunity to visit the farms with your children! I greatly enjoyed our discussions last night and being able to break away from my daily mommy duties for a few hours to learn more and regroup with you all. I look forward to our next meeting and any information you all may come across in the meantime.
Barking Cat Farm and Akin Farm are associated together
tons of information about meats, vegetables and over all knowledge about our daily food intake. They are also on Facebook for the ones who are on FB. I believe that Barking Cat is a farm that will allow you to come out and pick your own veggies. You might check out some other awesome links while you are on their home page "Our Friends". Windy Meadows Family Farm offers free range meats. Super cool farm that finds pride in getting the whole family involved. I have purchased from them previously.
Sabine Creek Beef
Owned and operated by Eddie Walker. All I can say is check out his blog. Super cool facility with many options. They also offer all kinds of camps and activities for children and families. This is a great option for meat and it is local! My mom, sister and I will often go in on meat packages and split it up.
This is a link for the activities they offer. On February 17th they will be having their huge Catfish Fry!!!
Greenling
This is new to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. This company was started in Austin and, due to overwhelming response, has found it's way to our city! After our discussion last night, I am not sure if they are currently delivering to the Rockwall area... However, that is something that could be subject to change if enough people were interested in an organic/all natural home delivery program.
I do have a few other local free range meat farms I have purchased from. I am currently working on locating their email information. I will get that all to you as soon as it surfaces. Until then, I hope you can find this information useful! Also, there are many berry farms we could go picking at once the season is right!
