Local Family Farms & Ranches near San Diego, TX (6)

Shower Daily Ranch raises pigs outdoors, rotating them through various pastures so that they are free to do what pigs do, rooting in the dirt, laying in the sun and playing chase. During rotation into the next pasture, this is their opportunity to spread the free fertilizer the pigs left behind and clean up the rough spots thereby rebuilding the pasture for the next rotation. You can visit their place to purchase their products or you can also check out their website and buy online. It is a "beautiful peaceful place with happy chickens and pigs...what’s more to like? Their bacon!"

Lorberau Legacy Farms is a goat farm that is considered as The Home of Texas Nubians and LaManchas. The farm is located in Alice, Texas. Lorberau Legacy Farms takes its important role in the local goat industry seriously. They make sure to actively participate in the Dairy Herd Improvement Registry, which means the goat milk they harvest is constantly examined and analyzed for protein, butterfat, and somatic cell count. This way, the milk from the goats on this farm is entered into a database. They also undergo a linear appraisal. The evaluation of a trained appraiser helps the farm regarding future decisions on breeding selection. And it also allows the farmers to get to know their goats better.
