Welcome to Walnut Hollow Farms

As a child on our farm I can remember setting down to supper, having a full table, and the only thing on the table to eat that we hadn't grown was the salt in the shaker.  We still have days with our supper table filled with top quality food we produced ourselves.  We produce: 

Grassfed beef:
We offer quality, grassfed Shorthorn Beef cattle.  Raised on grass paddocks without steroids or antibiotics.
Our selected Shorthorn and Angus Shorthorn cross herd, under the same management for forty years, has been directed toward raising cattle that efficiently convert grasses to beef.  Alliances or breeds that "increase marbling score or tenderness without adversely affecting percentage retail product relative to the breed mean" (fit inside the box) is not the way we raise cattle.

Mushrooms:
Our Shiitake mushrooms, grown outdoors on oak logs to produce flavor filled mushrooms, are in the middle of their strong production run.  Available seasonally fresh or dried.

Molasses:
Southern sorghum molasses, simmered and skimmed over a hardwood fire, is the hands down replacement for sugar. 
Grown from seeds handed down from previous generations.  The cooking down of sorghum is a yearly family tradition.

Nuts:
Chestnut, pecan, and black walnut orchards have been established for more than forty years. 

Vegetables:
Salad greens, white cucumbers, radishes, carrots, daikon, German Johnson tomatoes, Moon and Stars watermelons, sweet and hot peppers, okra, pumpkins, squash, and birdhouse gourds are grown from non-genetically modified heirloom seeds.  Silver Queen is our long time family favorite hybrid corn.  Varieties of plants, some common and some rare, with tastes that bring you back to your childhood; sitting at grandma's feet while she would string beans or silk corn.

Fruits:
Blueberries, pears, wild persimmons, and wild blackberries available

Chickens:
We raise chickens for meat and eggs.
