A family farm just outside of Celina, Cartermere Farm is close to people in Northcentral Texas. The farm sits in three hundred acres of land, by which, 38 acres is a lake. The lake made it to the farm's name. The family who owns the lake are the Carters, and the old English word for lake is mere. Therefore, Cartermere literally means Carter's Lake. The farm tries to produce the best quality food they can while sticking to organic and sustainable methods. Nelson Carter, the owner, now sells fresh eggs, organic produce, and grass-fed lambs.

Established in 2011, Shutt'er Down Ranch has been a stalwart provider of pesticide-free goods, specializing in organic produce and becoming the leading distributor of Orpington Chickens in Texas. In 2016, their journey took an unexpected twist when they welcomed Girty, initially thought to be a miniature pig but later revealed as a full-sized potbelly pig. Despite Girty's passing in December that year, her legacy lives on in the form of Girty's Haven, a sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals with medical needs, with proceeds from local farm-to-table restaurant partnerships contributing to their mission. Girty's Haven strives to provide essential vet care and find forever homes for these animals, a cause supported by satisfied customers who appreciate their vital work. If you're interested in visiting or learning more about Shutt'er Down Ranch, you can find them at Munzee Marketplace or contact them directly for farm tour inquiries.
