Review of Good & Able Farmstead by TexasRealFood

This family of four, along with their dogs and a cat, relocated to Athens, Texas, in May of 2017 and founded the Good & Able Farmstead. Later on, they added "cows, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, turkeys, rabbits, and bees" in over a year. Crazy, right? This farm considers itself more significant than a homestead. The Howards "place great value on tradition, resilience, sustainability, and diversity without sacrificing health and flavor". They "produce the tastiest and healthiest meat" for their family and yours. Moreover, they understand that excellent and healthy food costs more, but food contaminated with chemicals lack nutritional value. They allow their animals to root, graze on grass, and soak up the sun. In this way, the animals live more naturally while increasing the nutrient content of their meat. Good & Able Farmstead is excited to serve the people in their community by bringing more to them! Soon, they will be offering "farm tours and classes, wool products, and possibly even raw milk".

Farming Methods, Practices & Certifications

Grass Fed / Pastured Grass Fed / Pastured

Grass Fed / Pastured

The term “grass fed” (as opposed to grain fed) refers to meat obtained from cows that were raised on a diet of grass and other forage, such as clover; situated in pasture and, when fresh grass is unavailable, hay. This helps to denote the difference between livestock that has been raised in feedlots and generally fed a diet of soy and corn, versus animals that have had access to their natural feeding environment in pasture, which contains grasses, wildflowers, and herbs. This term overlaps with “pasture-raised” and will usually be seen together. Grass-fed beef is also believed to taste better, and be better for the environment, too. There are several organizations that offer a certification for Grass Fed, such as the American Grassfed Association, Certified Grassfed by A Greener World, and Pasture for Life, to name a few.

Naturally Grown

Some of the businesses listed in our directory will be using the same principles as Certified Naturally Grown farmers, but without the certification. Certifications can often be expensive and time consuming for most farmers to participate in, and therefore we feel it is important to acknowledge those who practice good land stewardship, without certification.
