There’s a really neat opportunity coming up next weekend here at the ranch. We’re hosting another one of our fun farm tours… but there’s more!
Last month, we had around 30 guests come visit with us to hear about our journey back to health from autoimmune disease using food as medicine. Every tour is different, and during the last one, our visitors got to pet the farm kitties, take a guess at which chickens were roosters (it’s harder than you might think!), and experience up-close a live cow moooooove. Our younger attendees got to participate in a fun little farm scavenger hunt as well, learning to identify fences, farm animals, and more. We always have a great time showing off the ranch and answering people’s questions about real food and farm life, etc.
We’re doing it all over again next week, and you are invited!
The consumer tour is $5 per person, ages 4 and up (littles are invited, too, of course, but they attend free).
I know it seems impossible that anything could be better than coming to an SGR farm tour… š š
But even better than that… we’re extending the opportunity to farmers in the area who want to see a real working pastured poultry farm. The American Pastured Poultry Association will be in attendance, and anyone who wishes to attend under that umbrella is invited to stick around afterward for an on-farm luncheon featuring Shady Grove Ranch meats (catered by locally-owned Central Perks of Marshall, TX), and a roundtable discussion of all things pastured poultry.
The cost to attend the full APPPA event is $20 for APPPA members, $25 for non-members. You’re welcome to attend even if you’re not a farmer but are interested in learning more about what makes Pastured Poultry Producers tick. They are a cool group of folks, I assure you!
Whichever hat you choose to wear for the day, be sure you pay for ONLY ONE! But BOTH require advance ticket purchase. Sign up for the consumer tour, which ends at noon, or the APPPA workshop, which includes lunch and ends at 4.
Pick a hat, any hat…. But only pick 1! |

Farm life is lots of things. Most folks know and reaffirm to us, āFarm life is so busy!ā Yep! 100%!
Itās also very cyclical. Certain things happen alongside the seasons, and it really is so interesting to witness the ebb and flow from year to year. Sometimes we change things to better mesh with seasonal changes. And sometimes we find a groove that we really like, and we try to stick… ... ContinueĀ reading
