Our mission is: ‘Growing Healthy Communities.’ People deserve convenient access to nutrient-dense, pasture-raised foods. We offer home delivery, drop-off locations, and an on-farm store for convenient access to farm-to-fork foods you can trust.
After growing up on a conventional farm raising corn, soybeans, and cotton, founder Craig Schmidt could no longer bear to keep spraying harmful chemicals on the crops and land and instead looked for a farming method that would regenerate the land by improving the health of the soil through a more organic approach.
Beginning in 2018, cattle were added to the farm, sheep followed shortly after and pigs and chickens were added in 2019. By using adaptive grazing, cover crops, and integrating livestock on farm ground, we are improving the health of the soil, reducing soil erosion while providing locally sourced pasture-raised meats from a farm the public is welcome to visit.
We believe in working with nature, and that means using no chemicals or pesticides. While we are not certified organic, we certainly use organic standards and practices.
Our pasture-raised chicken and egg layers are supplementally fed a Non-GMO feed ration. Our pigs are raised in wood lots and on pasture and are fed a Non-GMO diet.
Shaded Grove Farm Market also offers custom cracking and shelling of pecans as well as retailing pecan halves, pieces, pecan candy, and more.
Our on-farm store is stocked with locally crafted artisan food products such as local honey, fresh-roasted coffee, goat-milk soap, and more.
