Summary
Located near Daingerfield, Texas, just a short drive from Dallas or Shreveport. Here you can leave the stress of the city behind. There is no better cure for city life than sitting on your porch at Greer Farm sipping a cool drink as the sun sets behind the lake. Your worries stop the moment you enter the front gate
We think we have a unique farm with some different approaches to making a living off the land. From our circa 1850 restored Texas farm home to the log cabins, barns and share cropper buildings on the old homestead, we have tried to maintain the integrity of this land for future generations. The management of our forest has taken into consideration the aesthetics of the land as much as possible.
Our goal is to be a Center of Excellence in Sustainable Agriculture demonstrating that a family farm can be profitable, practice environmental stewardship and produce a stable food supply and timber in perpetuity without degrading the natural resources that support the production processes.
The Greer Farm is a real working family farm. We make our living here and not at a town job. Year-round we raise fullblood red and white Maine-Anjou cattle. We sell both breeding stock and fantastic grass fed beef by the split quarter or half, Sheep and goats are also raised on the farm as well as layer chickens in an egg mobile that moves across the pastures to fresh green grass. Staying on the farm you can help feed these animals and our quarter working horses plus Pepper, our Zebra. During the warmer months we have a vegetable CSA and sell vegetables direct to subscribers, at farmer's markets and at the farm. You can help pick and pack if you wish. During June and July we have wonderful, sweet blueberries, blackberries and fruit. At the farm house we offer Farm to Fork cooking classes. These hands-on classes are a great thing to participate in when staying on the farm in a cabin.
We invite you to visit us to pick some berries in the summer, see our cattle, take a cooking class or just fish during your relaxed stay with us for a unique farm stay.
