With housing developments and strip malls popping up all around them, and a Fort Worth road project poised to take a painful bite out of their land, the Farrises are working hard to preserve their little corner of country living — and share it with their urban community.
Tuesdays through Saturdays, they open up Homestead’s slice of simpler times to visitors. A small, rustic billboard on Keller Hicks Road invites passers-by to turn into the property’s pebbled drive for a visit to the tiny farm store. There, raw goat milk is available for purchase in glass bottles along with pasture-raised eggs, grass-fed beef, free-range chicken products and seasonal produce from their own field and those of other local growers.
While there, visitors are welcome to wander and visit the goats and pigs, look in on the laying hens, check out the fruit and veggie patch and greet Boo — a laid-back giant mix of Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd who is usually found sprawled out in the yard or on a wooden porch.
