Farming Local, Natural, and Homegrown

Review of Evans Homestead by TexasRealFood

Evans Homestead is a starting farm sitting in Commerce, Texas. It is one hundred percent Veteran farm that "offers fresh, local, and natural products through sustainable practices". Evans Homestead started with the owners living at a house on the lake in the country and wants to grow their food. Farm animals are not allowed at their property, so they "started to raise beds, rabbits, and duck since they are not considered farm animals". As they expand, they began to "raise cattle, goats, sheep, laying chickens, turkeys, quail, guineas, pigs, and laying ducks". They also "breed animals that adapt well to the Texas climate and are better for foraging". This way, customers get better products from them. In the future, they "plan to have various greens and other veggies, as well as honey!"

Farming Methods, Practices & Certifications

Grass Fed / Pastured Grass Fed / Pastured

Grass Fed / Pastured

The term “grass fed” (as opposed to grain fed) refers to meat obtained from cows that were raised on a diet of grass and other forage, such as clover; situated in pasture and, when fresh grass is unavailable, hay. This helps to denote the difference between livestock that has been raised in feedlots and generally fed a diet of soy and corn, versus animals that have had access to their natural feeding environment in pasture, which contains grasses, wildflowers, and herbs. This term overlaps with “pasture-raised” and will usually be seen together. Grass-fed beef is also believed to taste better, and be better for the environment, too. There are several organizations that offer a certification for Grass Fed, such as the American Grassfed Association, Certified Grassfed by A Greener World, and Pasture for Life, to name a few.

Naturally Grown

Some of the businesses listed in our directory will be using the same principles as Certified Naturally Grown farmers, but without the certification. Certifications can often be expensive and time consuming for most farmers to participate in, and therefore we feel it is important to acknowledge those who practice good land stewardship, without certification.

Transitional Transitional

Transitional

Pursuing an organic certification can be time consuming, expensive, and filled with paperwork. Many farms are transitioning to utilizing organic agricultural practices, but may not be ‘Certified Transitional’ or ultimately pursue an Organic certification. Farms marked with Transitional will still be working towards minimizing, and eventually eradicating, their use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and other mechanical interventions that don’t meet with organic practices.
