Tyner Pond Farm is named after Elijah Tyner who was one of the first settlers here in Blue River Township back in 1802.   He was really successful as a farmer and merchant and I'm hoping that by honoring him some of that good fortune will rub off on us! 

Our farm is located near Greenfield Indiana, in Hancock County.  Our focus is the slow food movement.   We provide a place where animals grow slowly....happily, the way nature intended.  

The result is beef, chicken and pork that  is probably healthier than you have ever had before & tastes like nothing you have tried before.  Food like your Grandparents used to eat.

So read on as we discuss how we raise our Grass Fed Wagyu, real free range the chickens and let our pigs roam the pasture & woods.

"Modern food animal production is characterized by densely concentrated animals and routine antibiotic use, which may facilitate the emergence of...

I'm wondering what the 'appitite' might be for a local screening of the movie "Fresh".   You can see the trailer below and I think it's an important statement that helps us all define the Slow Food Movement and why supporting local food systems is so critical. 

Let me know your thoughts after viewing the trailer here below..

So I think pigs like to be outside.   We've had a pretty warm winter this year without a lot of snow so I was curious to see how our Large Black pigs would take to a recent dusting.   Well, they loved it :-)

Joel Salatin talks about allowing Pigs to express their Piggishness (or something like that)  The idea is to allow them to express their desired natural behavior.  In that vien, we give them a warm place to sleep and an open door every day.   Some days they don't go out at all, other...

Thank you so much for joining our 'family'.   We work hard (and love it) nurturing our animals and produce to bring the best all natural food from our farm to your plate.

Stay on top of all the activity going on here at our Farm.  Keep up with our Free Range Pork, Grass Fed Chicken and Wagyu Cows as they enjoy their life here and get ready for their destiny...your plate.  

We'll send weekly email letting you know what's going on here at the farm as well as locavore news from all over.   You will also find out what products are available and where you can find them.

As the old saying goes..."sometimes it is better to be lucky than good".  Last week I was speaking at a marketing conference on Whidbey Island in the state of Washington.   I had no idea what to expect and was frankly blown away by the beauty, the people and for lack of a better word...the pace of this amazing island just a short ferry ride from Seattle.

To top it off, imagine my luck...
