Dairy & Eggs

One of the only dairies of its type in the country. Mill-King produces low-temp pasteurized, non- homogenized milk without hormones or antibiotics. This means their milk, from cows in McClennan County, is the closest thing to pure, raw milk that is available. The low-temp pasteurization process preserves the milk’s beneficial enzymes and because the milk is not homogenized, the cream rises to the top of every bottle. Pure milk products-skim, 1%, Whole, half and half, heavy cream, farmstead butter, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.

Farmer Lance Hayes raises LaMancha and Nigerian Dwarf goats for their great milk. They are fed on a diet of hay, minerals and additional supplements, such as dolomite, yeast, kelp and bran. There are no additives of any kind and of course no hormones or antibiotics. Goat milk is available along with chevre enchante’ (with an ash coating), spreadable chevre, feta, ricotta, parmesan and gruyere. All made with milk from their herd of goats.

Goatiliciousis a small family owned farm and creamery run by Claudia and Robert Ragels. They started breeding goats in 1999 and now raise the Nubian and LaMancha breed of dairy goats. Farm to Table carries two of their cheeses, Tomboy, a Tomma style aged cheese and LaMancha, a Manchego style aged cheese.

The original Shirt Tail Farm was founded in 1850 by the Krmaer Family near Brenham.. Carolynn and Sam Moffett bought the farm in 2017 and began raising egg-laying chickens immediately. Their chickens rotate on chemical-free pasture foraging bugs, seeds and leafy greens and roosting in their mobile coops at night. Supplemental feed, when needed includes one flock on soy and corn ration and a second flock on soy free, corn-free non-gmo ration.

Soncrest Egg Farms was founded by the Baker family in Gonzales over 44 years ago. Five years ago they were purchased by Nest Fresh and are now one of their national network of family farms producing eggs for local markets. We have been working with Soncrest since 2012 and they were one of our original farmer/vendors. Soncrest produces cage-free, free-range, pasture-raised and organic eggs.

Stryk is a family-run dairy farm located near Schulenburg. Founded in 1940 by John Stryk, it is now run by son Robert and his wife Darlene. Their herd is 100% registered pure-bred Jersey cows, which are hardy and very efficient and produce milk that is high in protein. They started on-site cheese making five years ago.
