kay-jim-richardsonRichardson Farms

Richardson Farms in Rockdale, TX is a family farm where one thousand 100% pastured turkeys roam happily.  Each Thanksgiving, we offer these farm-fresh pastured turkeys to our members, and trust us, you’ll never taste a turkey this good.  Plus, you have the peace of knowing the turkeys were raised humanely and happily and are as fresh as it gets.  The Richardson family has been involved in farming for several generations. They are conservation minded in their farming efforts and care deeply about the health and well-being of their animals. All of their livestock are in large open areas/pastures and are free to interact with each other.

caprinoCaprino Royale

Caprino Royale is a micro-dairy and small sustainable farm in Waco, TX producing pasture based goat milk products.  The farm is owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Eric Tippit and Karen Dierolf.  As James Bond fans, they created the name of their dairy from the word “Caprine,” the scientific term meaning “of or pertaining to goats” and as a spoof on the James Bond film Casino Royale. This developed into the goat herd name “Caprino Royale”.  Their herd consists of purebred registered Nubian goats, which are known for their superior quality of milk, high butterfat content, and friendly disposition (not to mention, their big floppy ears!). We think Caprino Royale’s goat-milk cheese (fromage de chevre) is simply the best.  For something sweet, try their Cajeta caramel sauce and Cajeta Pecan Cheese – yum.

Goats Are Cute

March 13th, 2013

As you know, some of the UA team members are traveling around Texas right now visiting our farmers, and filming our Kickstarter video.

One of the highlights of our farm trip is always stopping by Caprino Royale goat cheese farm in Waco and playing with the goats.  There’s just no way around it, is there?  Goats are cute.
