Local Food Businesses offering Duck Eggs near Mount Pleasant, Texas 75456 (2)

Frozen big-brand chickens in the frozen section of the grocery are never the better choice compared to a locally-grown, farm-fresh bird. And looking at how clean and well-prepared the whole pastured chickens sold at Ten Oaks Farm are, all the more reason to source locally and buy fresh poultry. Ten Oaks Farm also sells fresh produce like squash, tomatoes, and peppers which you can use to cook your chicken. They also have eggs and jams to go with your breakfast coffee. If you are thinking of stocking up, find them at Winnsboro Farmer's Market which they frequent.

Since its establishment in 2008, the Winnsboro Farmers’ Market has continually evolved to meet changing market dynamics. Initiated by city officials, the market solidified its operations with established by-laws in 2010, along with comprehensive rules and regulations for vendors. To extend its season beyond April to October, an online store was introduced, serving as an accessible option for shoppers to connect with local farmers, makers, and bakers. These collective efforts not only bring together discerning shoppers but also bolster the local economy and nurture community bonds. These endeavors have garnered recognition, with the market earning the 2018 Best Produce category in County Line’s Best of the Upper East Side contest, along with previous accolades such as the 2011 American Farmland Trust organization’s 2nd Favorite Farmer’s Market in Texas award.
