About the Farm

Background

In 2006, Blue Heron Farm was established to demonstrate the possibility of running a profitable farm while treating the land, animals, and people with dignity and respect. Over the years, they have become known for their fresh goat cheeses, available at Houston area farmer’s markets and select restaurants.

Practices

Blue Heron Farm manages its land using sustainable agricultural principles, avoiding synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. They employ rotational grazing to enhance fertility, water usage, and carbon sequestration, allowing native plants to replace non-native grass. Their Nubian goats, along with hogs and poultry, are pastured with access to dry, safe shelter, adhering to Animal Welfare Approved standards. The farm emphasizes transparency, offering regular tours to connect customers with their food and verify farming practices.

The Rest

Blue Heron Farm offers tours of their farm and dairy facilities to promote transparency in their operations. They serve a market that values thoughtful food choices and prioritizes the health of both consumers and the animals providing their food.
