Sorry folks we’ve decided to stop farming. We are now a traveling bowling league. . . Ha! Not quite. Took the chicken processing team out for doing a killer job this season! Be sure to order lots of chicken in the coming weeks so we can put them back to work. . . #cultivatethe318 #mahaffeyfarms #teamwork #bowling #workhardplayhard #chickenprocessing #organtrail #gizzarddone #farmfun #punny #bossiercity #localfarms #holisticmanagement #eat318 #bowllocal

We started the farm back in 2012. We were frustrated with the lack of clean food options within our local food system. We started out with chemical free vegetables and soon dove into pasture-raised pork and poultry, fed certified organic feed (@coyotecreekfarm ) along with grass fed beef. Moving animals on pasture continues to be our focus 7 years later and we are offering more and more products every year. Turns out we weren't the only ones tired of the poor quality food available at the supermarket. You folks have gone above and beyond supporting us and we are incredibly grateful. Farming isn't easy and sometimes it feels like we're fighting an uphill battle, but we're not giving up. Our family and many others in the community have access to meat & eggs we can trust and that makes it all worth it. . . For those that have supported us all these years, thank you again and to those that just joined us, welcome to a better way of eating! . . #familyfarm #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #whyifarm #cleaneating #betterway #pastureraised #family #regenerativeagriculture #eat318 #shreveport #bossiercity #haughton #louisiana #farm #thatlacommunity

Catch us at our farm stand or the @shreveport_farmers_market tomorrow! . #farmersmarket #farmstand #pig #tgif #farmfriday #cultivatethe318 #mahaffeyfarms #hay #mood #pastureraised #shreveport #bossiercity #bigmood #shreveportfarmersmarket #regenerativefarming #eatlocal

It can be frustrating to decode all the different labels at the grocery. There are many companies that use terms to make you think what you're buying is one thing when really it isn't even close. For example, did you know "organic" chickens can be raised in a factory farm? Or that "free range" chickens are given "access" to the outdoors but what that "access" looks like would shock you. There is a better way! Help us spread the word about local, pasture-raised chicken. Tag a friend who needs to know there are better options right here in our community! . . #cultivatethe318 #mahaffeyfarms #eatbetter #cleaneating #betterway #paleo #shreveport #bossiercity #pasturedpoultry #pastureraised #mahaffeychicken

This is why we do it! We truly believe that chickens raised on fresh pasture is the only chicken you should be eating. Instead of trying to decipher between labels like “natural” or “free range” from some company you’ll never visit, come see us at the @shreveport_farmers_market tomorrow or at our farm stand 9-1 pm! Pasture raised chicken is beyond organic and it’s right here in your own backyard folks. . . #pasturedpoultry #beyondorganic #misleadinglabels #transparency #pastureraised #regenerativefarming #shreveport #bossiercity #shreveportfarmersmarket #farmstand #local #louisiana #farm

Our red label chicken! Why is our chicken so good? These birds are moved to fresh pasture every single day in highly specialized shelters. They're able to be worm eatin', bug scratchin' chickens in a protected shelter that keeps them dry and cool. We feed them certified organic feed from @feedmillatcoyotecreek. The flavor, texture and nutrition is incomparable. Get your fix delivered tomorrow! Click the link in our bio and order by midnight. . . #pasturedpoultry #cultivatethe318 #mahaffeyfarms #eatlikeyoulivehere #shreveport #318 #bossiercity #chicken #mahaffeychicken #homedelivery #redlabel #certifiedorganicfeed #coyotecreekfarm #eatbetter #eat318

We just had a customer come in and tell us we’ve ruined him and his family. This might sound negative but it’s actually a compliment we hear often. Try our pasture-raised chicken and you’ll understand. Once you’ve had the best, it’s hard to go back. . . @megan_h_chavez at #tempoeaterysbc knows! 🔥 She’s doing it right, serving #mahaffeychicken leg quarters over roasted roots today!
