ATTENTION DEER HUNTERS! We are sharing this pic of Evan with a dandy buck he harvested from our land this week in order to get your attention. If you are the kind of folk that enjoy venison sausage or make your own sausages from wild game, we have a Pro Tip: Use back fat from our pasture raised heritage hogs to make your sausage! The flavor and texture will be NEXT LEVEL. We've been using it for deer and wild game we harvest from our land for years and can attest to it being THE BEST way to enjoy wild game. Why go to the trouble of getting the most natural meat possible and then mix in "factory" pork? Keep it local and natural! We have tons of back-fat from our Non-GMO fed pigs. We sell our back fat by the 10-30lb case already sliced in manageable pieces for the grinder. We get a lot of inspiration from @stevenrinella of the meateater podcast and tv show ... If you don't make it yourself, you can take our fat to your favorite processor. We know Bellevue Meat Processing does this for our customers and we recommend their high quality products and services. For folks in the Ruston/West Monroe/Monroe area we recommend McCain Farms who is our expert sausage maker! For more than 20 years we have been involved in the conservation and management of our wild lands and are proud to see our efforts pay off. Not only are we raising more food per acre than ever before with livestock, we are also enjoying a dramatic improvement in wildlife populations and biodiversity. Our deer herd is growing in number and size every year. We are also seeing our wild turkey population grow to the point of almost daily sightings. Regenerative agriculture and holistic management for the win!

I used to tell people that I was really proud of this kid. But that’s just not true anymore. Those days are over. And in a lot of ways it tears me up to think about how I won’t be able to brag about this extraordinary boy I call my son. I’m full of new emotions... the kind of emotions a father feels when he realizes his relationship with his child is forever changed. Taylor turned 21 today. He’s a man now. And I can now stand behind him or beside him as a fellow man but never in that same place like I used to when he was just a boy. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him and to say I am a proud father is an understatement. Honestly Taylor has become a hero to me. He’s been through a lot. It hasn’t been a smooth ride for him... I’ve seen him go through some really tough shit... Hell, I’ve caused my fair share of it. In fact I was only 21 when he was born. I was too young and stupid to be a father... but we sorta raised each other. I know I am a better man because of him and I wouldn’t change anything. We made it this far together and the man you see before you is far more accomplished, responsible and intelligent than I was at 21, that’s for sure. He’s in his senior year of college now and will soon graduate with a degree in environmental science and forestry. No mater where he goes or what he decides to do, he’ll be my greatest accomplishment. I love you son. Happy Birthday. @sheriffmclovin #familyfarming #proudfather #family #regenerativeagriculture #mahaffeyfarms

Hey, yeah I'm talking to you! Lean in here and I'll let you in on a little secret. The people I work for, nice folks these people, they give me lots of pasture to scratch and peck around on for tasty bugs AND we even have this self serve bar of soy free, organic feed that is really quite something. Apparently, it also makes my eggs taste exponentially better than most and I hear you can get them delivered! Anyway, I'm just a chicken but I'd say they're doing it right. Now excuse me while I go take my mid afternoon nap in the sunshine. 🌞 #pasturedpoultry #farmlife #louisiana #318 #homedelivery #cultivatethe318 #mahaffeyfarms #linkinbio @coyotecreekfarm

First of the fall calves hit the ground today! #pineywoodscattle #fallcalving #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #regenerativeagriculture #heritagebeef

Nicky wanted to follow me out to the cattle herd in the way-back-forty and help tag the first of the fall calves. She wanted to make the big creek crossing on her own. She made it look easy! The video doesn’t show how steep it really is... #mahaffeyfarms #hondaforeman #familyfarming #fallcalving #bossierparish

#history #mahaffeyfarms since we started this little farm we’ve collected stickers from #travelers to this special place. And since 2012 we’ve had this cabinet in our #farmstand collecting memories... now we progress to the next phase in our story and this symbol of our connection to our food community will move to our new location! #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #community #shreveport #familyfarm #bossiercity #bebossier #southerncuisine #eat318 #knowyourfarmer #knowyourfood #regenerativeagriculture #slowfood #slowfoodnorthla #eatlocal #local #joelsalatin #regrarians
