It’s important to know what your labels mean. Thanks to New Country Organics for the easy to follow PSA.

Nice and slow video of Nicky cutting up a whole bird for those curious how we do it. . . You’d be amazed at the actual speed she can cut one of these bad boys up. Wouldn’t be very useful for instruction though. 😂 #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #pastureraised #mahaffeychicken #onpasture #lifeonpasture #eat318 #pasturedchicken #shreveport #bossiercity #slowfood #slowfoodnorthlouisiana #tastelouisiana #louisianafarm #regenerativeagriculture #chickenprocessing #farm365 #eatlocalgrown #farmher #womenwhofarm

There’s only one way to eat a hog and that’s to eat the whole thing! Pasture-raised pork is quite the centerpiece. . . . #pasturedpork #rotationalgrazing #wholehog #farming #onpasture #pigfarm #farmlife #heritagebreeds #pork #farm #redwattle #shreveport #farmtotable #eat318 #louisiana #heritagepork #realpigfarming #regenerativeagriculture #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318

Probably one of the most unexpected benefits of becoming a full time regenerative farmer was meeting and becoming good friends with some of the most passionate and creative people on the planet: chefs. The first one I ever met was Jason Brady. He came to our booth on our very first day of the @shreveport_farmers_market back in 2012. He was interested in our heirloom tomatoes and struck up a conversation that ultimately played a pivotal role in our pastured pork. He’s directly responsible for our ultra successful Pasture/Forest Raised Red Wattle Hog program. We’ve collaborated on dozens of events and farm-to-table dinners as well as countless plates of locally sourced food served in his restaurants. He’s the real deal and loyal friend. . This relationship continues onward and upwards this week at his most popular and anticipated annual event, Wine & Swine! Be looking for two whole Mahaffey Farms Red Wattle Hogs and other creations from our pork products! There will also be a pile our bratwurst made with @greatraftbeer ! This event gets better and better every year! Check out the link in our bio. @jasonbrady76 @winecountrybistro @slowfoodnorthla . . . . . #chef #cheflife #shreveport #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #collaborate318 #cultivate318 #eat318 #wine #swine #redwattle #louisiana #farmtotable #farmer #farmersmarket #slowfood #mahaffeyfarmhouse #mahaffeyfarmspork #winecountry #supportlocalfarms #pork #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming

A lot of things can happen when you gather around a table to share a meal. If you’ve ever worked out at the farm you know we have a pretty strict lunch policy. No matter what’s going on, we stop what we’re doing and share a meal together. Problems are solved, memories are made, we rest, and connect when we sit around this table. The experience as a whole is special and personal. The idea that the food we raise will be at the center of that for you and your family, fills us up. 🥰 . . Put local food on the table this week. . . #familytable #farmtotable #shareameal #eattogether #knowyourfarmer #eatlocal #supportlocalfarms #pastureraised #thatlacommunity #tastelouisiana #cultivatethe318 #shreveport #bossiercity #mahaffeyfarms #realfood #memories #onthefarm #louisianafarm #mahaffeyfarmhouse #familyfarming #slowfoodnorthla #regenerativefarming #eat318

It’s been a while since we’ve introduced Nicky, co-owner and farmer of Mahaffey Farms. . Sweet, down-to-earth Nicky, where to begin?! Many of you know her from the market or the farm stand but most folks don’t realize Nicky has been #farming for most of her life. She spent her summers and weekends helping and working on her “poppas” family farm in Elmer, Louisiana. They raised vegetables, rabbits, chickens, cattle, pigs, squirrel dogs, and fruit. We often rely entirely on her experience to guide us. Nicky is an intellectual powerhouse! By day she is a Rural Family Physician 👩‍⚕️ So not only is she our co-owner and farmer, but she is also well known in her community in Northern #bossierparish as one of the finest family doctors. We try not to brag but with good reason, when it comes to the knowledge base of the people growing your food, the Mahaffey Team has a tremendous asset in Nicky. She gives so much of herself to this community and she is truly one the most inspiring women we know. We couldn’t do it without her and we wanted y’all to know. ❤️

In the U.S. 97% of chickens are bathed in chlorine bathes to kill bacteria. That’s probably because they spend their entire lives standing in their own excrement. . . We offer a better alternative. We move our birds to a fresh piece of pasture every single day. No antibiotics. No chlorine bath. Just responsibly raised, healthy chicken. . . Higher in: - Omega 3s - Vitamins - Minerals - Good fats - Rich flavor We started doing this because we wanted something better. We keep doing it because now that we know, we can’t stop.

Happy pigs on pasture😁 . .

As stewards of the land we are reminded daily to celebrate how vast nature’s gifts can be. Whether it's in the form of precious new life, delicious food, or a beautiful view as the sun comes up. For those of you that buy from us weekly, we want you to celebrate today. Your support helps us protect and sustain those gifts! Without you all choosing to spend your food dollars with us, we wouldn't be able to carry out our mission. We, as a community, are taking care of our little spot on this planet and that’s something we should celebrate together 🌎 . . . . . . . #knowyourfarmer #farm #farmstagram #farming #food #growyourownfood #farm365 #ethicalfarming #onthefarm #supportlocalfarms #louisianafarms #slowfood #localfarms #holisticmanagement #regenerativefarming #transparency #eatlocal #foodasmedicine #realfood #biodiversity #nature #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #Eat318 #bossier #bebossier #shreveport #earthday #earthday2019 #earthdayeveryday
