As I sit among a sea of sourdough bakers, I’ve been thinking about how to set myself apart from the other farm stands. I have my pork, and hopefully that will develop its own following. I’ve also been pleasantly surprised by the response to my kimchi, which has sparked many conversations about Korean and Japanese cuisine. I’m considering moving away from baked goods and offering more snack-style items, such as Japanese egg sandwiches, onigiri, and Korean kimbap. These would be quite unique in the area, so I’m wondering how many of you might be interested. I could also imagine offering a variety of Asian products that would otherwise require traveling a considerable distance to find. What do you think?

The store is open today until 4 pm! I have traditional sourdough and a couple of loaves of sourdough molasses brown bread. I also have sourdough pancake mixes, including a pumpkin spice pancake mix.

We are also introducing our whole, half, and quarter hog packages in addition to pork cuts by the pound. The difference with our packages is that we offer a single price, and you can pick up from us directly, or we can deliver to you. There are no middlemen and no additional fees. The price you see is the final price. Stop buying horrible grocery store meat and buy local, healthy meat.

Browse our selection of farm-raised and made hot sauces, jellies, and seasonings.

I am located at 357 Sherrill Road, Kingsbury, TX 78638.
We are down the road from the river camps.
We are open Friday and from Saturday 10 am to 4 pm, but you can order online and pick up anytime.

We are open! I have some new goodies available for you. Along with my usual large-and-in-charge sourdough loaves, I’m offering sourdough molasses brown bread this week. Everything is warm and fresh from the oven.

I’ve also prepared sourdough pancake mixes. One is classic sourdough, while the other is pumpkin spice, and both make some of the best pancakes or waffles I’ve ever had.

Two new products are embracing Autumn, just like I am! For years, I’ve made this brine mix and used it for everything from turkey and chicken to pork. It adds so much flavor and keeps the meat wonderfully moist. The other new item is mulling spice, which is amazing in apple cider or wine. If you’ve never tried warm spiced wine, you’re truly missing out. I know the weather isn’t quite ready yet, but I want to have these available as soon as the temperatures begin to drop.

If you can’t stop by today but don’t want to miss the goodies, you can order them through our website and pick them up whenever it’s convenient for you.

The store was closed today, but I was busy preparing for next week. Fall won't be here for another month, but that won't stop me from celebrating early. Don't hold it against me, but I am a northerner by birth, and Autumn was always my favorite season. When the summer heat gets out of control, I start craving those cool wet mornings and the smell of wet leaves.

To prepare for my early Autumn celebration, I have my dehydrator and freeze dryer full and running constantly. They are full of apples, cranberries, raspberries, citrus of all kinds, and herbs. I have also made a large batch of dehydrated Sourdough Starter and pumpkin powder made by freeze-drying pumpkin puree. I'll use all of these in a wide range of new products.

Don't forget why the store really exists: our pasture-raised heritage pork. I have received so much feedback over the last month about the quality of our pork. People are surprised at the amazing flavor and how surprisingly affordable it is. We sell whole, half, and quarter pig bundles, but most importantly, we sell individual cuts by the pound. I want you to try the meat before you commit to a large quantity.

The store is not open this weekend, but our website always is! Place an order, and you can pick up any day but Sunday.

Store Update!
We will be closed this weekend as we complete some work in the shop as well as some over due farm work.

I want to thank everybody for the great first month! I couldn't be happier with the response we received from the local community. I am looking forward to serving you in the future!

The store will open again on August 28th with a full collection of sourdough and fall themed products. I will also have customizable coffee and tea offerings. I am working on a line of natural syrups that will be available to try in your coffee and to take a bottle home.
Thanks again for your support!

The farmstand is open! Today and tomorrow, 9 am to 4 pm. Today I have Sourdough bread galore with three different breads, Sourdough Croissant and Garlic and Herb Croissant Sourdough Loaf. If you are a spice j***y like myself, I have shelves full of hot sauces and jellies. We always have our heritage pork available by the pound or in bulk packages.

This week, we restocked our 100% farm-grown and processed cowboy candy. We also have three new varieties: garlic chive, crunchy English cabbage, and purple crunchy cabbage kimchi. Napa cabbage and cucumber kimchi are still available too.

For baked goods, we’ve got sourdough from along with my giant, chewy S’more chocolate chip cookies and Reese’s peanut butter cookies.

Most importantly, we have our heritage pork, bacon, and sausage! We even have fresh farm eggs to go with them.

And if you can’t make it to the store this weekend, don’t forget you can always order on our website for farm pickup or delivery.

It's been a busy week! I have been harvesting the bounty of the gardens and making goodies for the farmstand. So far I made 3 gallons of cowboy candy from my jalapeñoes. I picked a half bushel of sugar Rush peach peppers, which are very spicy but also fruity. I will be making pepper jelly out of them tomorrow. I have probably close to a bushel of habanero peppers to pick tomorrow. I will be making a spicier version of cowboy candy that I call devil's candy and fermenting the rest for a future habenaro peach hot sauce.
Korean food is always on my family's menu so I am constantly making a kimchi of some type. This week I have made a crunchy cabbage kimchi using English cabbage. I love it's sweet crunch! I will be making a second batch with purple cabbage and a traditional Buchu or garlic chive kimchi.
I will have the farmstand open 10 am to 4 pm, Friday and Saturday. Stop by and check out Feral Crumb Co sourdough and my own baked goodies.

Remember you can always order and pickup on the farm 7 days a week.
