Products
Our products are available for pick-up directly from the farm,
or, at one of our meet-up locations,
with the exception of processed meat
which can be picked up directly from the processor.
Items available at various times of the year:
- Eggs from pasture raised hens priced by the dozen.
- Chickens raised the Joel Salatin way on pasture in movable housing that is rotated daily. Price is by each live bird varying in weight from 4-7 lbs.
- Lamb and beef from pasture fed and finished herbivores using rotational grazing management. Priced by the lb. of live weight (excluding processing).

- Cottage Food Items, including our signature Angel Food Cakes made with our farm fresh egg whites plus other delicious cakes, cookies and fresh baked breads and bagels. These items are available at our farmers' market booths in various locations in both Collin and Hunt Counties
- We also have various hand crafted items such as crochet amigurumi, cotton wash cloths, shawls and scarves, wood carved hair sticks, quilts, gourds and much more...
In addition to our products, we encourage visitors with the intent to share our farming knowledge and cultivate relationships with other farm enthusiasts. We host farm tours, classes on cheese, soap, and bread making, and meet-ups to engage in crafts, canning, and fellowship.
Our buyers are also our supporters, like in a CSA. However, with the exception of sheep shares, we do not sell shares, instead, we sell our items directly, as they are available. We are a small farm (and strive to stay that way - we are big believers that quality suffers with too much quantity) therefore, we will only have limited quantities of items and will provide those items, in order of seniority, based on our most active/committed buyers first. Similar to a CSA, we ask our supporters to understand that farming does not always guarantee a product due to variables like crop loss (due to weather, disease,or wrong timing), accidents, etc. Unlike a CSA, we do not ask you to share in that risk. On the other hand, we will not continue to provide items to those who have broken buyer's commitments with us in the past; we seek supporters who are committed during times of plenty as well as our trying times.
We keep a notification list and send out periodic e-mail updates with our latest farm news and items available, or soon to be available (note: everyone has the option to unsubscribe to the notifications at any time). If you would like to be included on that list, please send us an e-mail asking to be added to our notification list.
Meanwhile, you can visit our on-line market via greenfamilyfarm.locallygrown.net. There you will have the option to get on board and become a buyer/supporter of our farm and will have first access to our harvests. Items avail. now are listed under the [Featured Products] section - other items may not yet be growing/harvesting and may be on "wait list" status.
Thank you for your interest in our farm and our products and for supporting sustainable agriculture!
