First we want to thank everyone for your patience and support! Over the past two weeks we’ve had to completely change our policies and protocols 2 or 3 times in order to adhere to the #stayathome order and it has been a challenge to say the least! We know everyone is doing what they can to hold onto to some normalcy during this time and we are trying our best to keep on providing delicious and nutritious local foods for our community! In an effort to focus on the positive and get to know folks that are trying our products for the first time we ask that you share photos of what you’re cooking up using the hashtag #stayhomewithmahaffey. . We’ll start it off by sharing our badass beer bratwurst made with local heritage breed pasture raised pork and @greatraftbeer Southern Drawl! . Show us what you’ve been cooking up! . . #cultivatethe318 #mahaffeyfarms #eat318 #cookingathome #stayhome #stayhomewithmahaffey #shreveport #bossiercity #haughton #louisianalove #drinkrealbeer

CLEAN FOOD TO YOUR DOOR! . Just threw up a quick pile of just a few of the hundreds of products we are delivering door to door! Mainly because we need you to read our new rules for ordering, delivery, and pick-up. Please read! Check our bio for links to order site! . ****NOTICE!!!! New Rules for COVID19 Stay-at-home order March 23 2020: . In response to the Governor’s orders and high order volume we are making a few lifesaving changes. As of today we are adopting a home delivery and online order store pick-up ONLY system with “Zero Contact” protocols. We want to encourage folks to use our home delivery service and online payment systems. Changes are as follows: . #1 ALL Home Delivery Customers MUST LEAVE OUT A COOLER WITH ICE PACK. Our drivers will leave your order in the cooler and will not be knocking on doors or ringing doorbells. To protect you, our drivers, and families we must follow these zero contact rules. Drivers will honk their horns when they arrive. If there is no cooler the driver will drop your order at the front door and leave. **We are not responsible for lost orders after the driver leaves.*** . #2 Our store is closed for shoppers and we have reduced our opening hours. Our gates will be open to online order pick-up every Tuesday-Friday 1-5 and Saturdays 9-12 noon. We will no longer be taking drive-up orders. You must have placed your order online by midnight the day before pickup. You must preorder online. . #3 Orders cannot be changed once they are packed for pickup or delivery. PLEASE DO NOT ASK US CHANGE ORDERS! We will not. You can cancel orders but they cannot change. PLEASE take the time to double and triple check your order before you send it! #4 We have been forced to hire additional labor to meet the high demand and these new systems are taking more time than our normal operating procedures. This has forced us to include a very small $1 order packing fee for store pick-up orders. Our Home Delivery fee will remain $5 as it has been since 2015. Thank you for supporting small family farmers! #5. see comments

Happy belated 318 Day. We got busy and forgot to drop in and talk about how proud we are of this community!We know these are uncertain times but it’s reassuring to see our people pulling together to support one another in big and small ways. We love y’all. We’re going to keep doing what we can to #cultivatethe318 and we hope you do too. . #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #strongcommunity #eatlikeyoulivehere #eat318 #firstdayofspring #318day

Hey y’all this is Evan, I wanted to give you a quick update on our attitudes and actions during this challenging time. . I want to remind you all that we are not consumers. We are citizens. We have responsibilities to each other. We have to work toward the greater good of the community. Living local is our responsibility. Supporting the local economy means spending local. Let’s cultivate the three one eight! #cultivatethe318 #eatlikeyoulivehere . The farmers, grocers, and food service workers all over this community (and country) are working long hard hours to keep everyone fed on schedule. We are stocking up and reacting to the need. It’s important that we as citizens don’t horde food and that we only stock what we need for a week or two at a time...giving the hands that feed us time to catch up! It’s critical that citizens support local food production and locally owned businesses by not overloading our ability to serve. And so far all of our customers have been very wonderful and understanding. Let’s keep up the good work! . Our farm has been doing home delivery since 2015 and are proud to offer our service in this time of great need... our team is rising to the occasion. We are stocking up, increasing production as best we can, and doing our best to serve you. Please be patient with us while we ramp up! . In addition to our Tuesday and Thursday delivery we are now offering Saturday delivery as well as adding many essential grocery items to our website. We’re hoping within a few days we will have a full grocery service available. Our focus will be on clean staple foods. Thanks to everyone who has been supporting us all these years and welcome to all of the new customers! . Our farm store is still open as usual but we want to encourage people to use our delivery service if possible. It is the safest move for you and for our farm team... and it’s only a $5 fee for anywhere in the Shreveport/Bossier metro area. . As we ramp up and see orders exceed our ability to handle them we will cut off orders for that particular day. You can then look to order for the next delivery date available in the system. We’re doing our best!

Not to be a mother hen but y’all should probably stop worrying about the toilet paper and stop by the farm stand to stock up on nutrient dense foods! 😂 . #eat318 #shreveport #bossiercity #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #layinghensofinstagram #pastureraised #nutrientdense #letthyfoodbethymedicine

We know there is heightened anxiety all over social media right now about the uncertainty of health. As a farm we want to remind our community that a major benefit of our products is their nutrient density! Packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids that are the building blocks of a strong immune system. . We should be always be conscious of where our food comes from and how it supports our health. . #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #eat318 #letyourfoodbeyourmedicine #feedyourhealth #eatlocal #staypositive #radicallytraditionalfarming #pastureraised #grassfedbeef #nutrientdense #wholefoods #cookmore #cookmoreathome

Happy Farm Friday! There’s a change coming, plants are budding, babies are being born (like this lil peanut) and we are gearing up for sweet Spring! . Second to new life popping up on the farm, my favorite thing about Spring is grilling/cooking outside on the back porch! Who’s with me? . Smoked sausage and leg quarters are my go-to! We’ll be fully stocked on those and all your grill favorites at the farm stand! Stop by and load up tomorrow 9-3 pm. . #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #grillseason #grillmaster #springiscoming #farmtogrill #dibsonribs #bbq #eat318 #eatlocal

It is officially chicken season! We got our first batch in the ole Ohio brooder last week. Scroll to the second pic to see what comes next. . Once their feathers come in and they are big enough, we’ll graduate them to pasture. At this point they get an exciting move to fresh new pasture every single day. This move encourages foraging and exercise, two major contributors to the elevated taste and texture of our chicken. . This method of moving chickens on pasture is great for the birds, great for building up our pastures and great finished product for our customers. WIN, WIN, WIN! . #pasturedpoultry #pastureraised #regenerativeagriculture #chickenseason #ohiobrooder #joelsalatin #chickentractor #radicallytraditionalfarming #grassfarmer #paleo #carnivorediet #mahaffeyfarms #cultivatethe318 #louisianafarm

Our basket runneth over! It is egg season y’all! The farm stand is open today 9-1.
