Our story

Our farm began as a modest family project with a simple goal: fresh, wholesome food for our family, our friends and, before long, our growing community.

We started with a few chickens, turkeys and cows. Our passion for farming quickly grew into something much bigger, and the community’s support for our eggs and meat carried us from a backyard hobby to a working farm.

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to ethical farming. We believe in the humane treatment of our animals and make sure they lead healthy lives in our care. Our livestock roam and forage on land managed with rotational grazing, which lets the earth rest and regenerate. Their grazing is supplemented with grain and raw fruits and vegetables.

Cypress Creek Farms and Ranch is more than a place. It’s a reflection of community and the lasting bonds of family. We hope our farm becomes part of your story too, with humanely raised food that brings people together.

From our family to yours, we invite you to taste the difference that comes from genuine care, sustainable living and a deep love for the land. Welcome to Cypress Creek Farms and Ranch.

Our philosophy goes beyond farming

We see ourselves as guardians of tradition and supporters of community well-being. Our rotational grazing honors the land and lets our animals forage naturally, and our produce is grown with the same care from seed to harvest.

How we raise our animals and care for the land

Pasture-raised, with room to roam

Fresh air, sunlight and open pasture let our animals forage and behave naturally. Pasture-raised practice is a cornerstone of how we farm, and it shows in the taste and quality of our meat and eggs.

Rotational grazing that lets the land rest

We treat the farm as a living system. Rotating pastures gives the land time to regenerate, maintains soil health and biodiversity, and grows more nutritious forage for our animals.

Soy-free feed, no synthetic pesticides

We avoid synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Soy is left out of our animal feed on purpose, which helps families managing allergies or choosing to eat less soy.

Members of the Red Wattle Hog Association

Preserving and promoting the Red Wattle breed is part of our work. Through responsible breeding and the welfare of our animals, we aim to support the growth of this unique American breed.
