For Iron Farm Meat Market, "farm fresh" is not the gold standard.  On the contrary, it is merely the minimum basic requirement for meat producers seeking to provide high-quality meat. The company prides itself on raising cattle, pigs, and chickens in the best possible environment. The result: good quality meat worthy of the consumer's trust. Update: Their retail store has closed. They are now only selling beef by whole, half,  or quarter and by appointment only.

Founded in 2012 by Alissa Rhodes and her mother, Lonesome Lady Farm began by raising calves in their debut year to manage their workload and test the waters. The following year marked a significant expansion, incorporating laying hens, sheep, meat chickens, and more cattle. These animals now graze freely across 50 acres of pasture using a rotational system. Emphasizing meticulous care for both land and animals, Alissa and her mother yield top-tier pasture-raised poultry, eggs, turkey, pork, and exceptionally tender grass-fed lamb and beef. Their premium meats are accessible through the CSA and local farmers' markets, with distribution points including Dallas and Tyler. It's worth noting that their CSA page hasn't seen updates since 2017, so reaching out to them directly is advised for the latest information.
