Farm Fed, LLC
Vendor
We are the owners of PandA Homestead, LLC, a family operated small farm, open to the public, that focuses on raising livestock for meat and eggs, in a responsible and ethical way using only regenerative methods that help build the soil and do not damage the environment.
The Farm Operations at PandA Homestead include raising a variety of poultry, hogs, cows and goats. Using a rotational model, we raise our livestock outdoors on chemical-free pastures or woodlots. They have continuous access to green grass, clean water and locally sourced feed that gives them the perfect amount of nutrients to keep them strong and healthy. We sell our products directly to our customers, via farmers markets, deliveries and farm pick-ups. Customers are raving about our products rating them five stars on many marketing platforms.
So, what can be better than locally produced food, you ask? We answer: Cooked locally produced food! Our newest enterprise, FARM FED, LLC will provide our customers with meals cooked with ingredients from our farm or sourced locally from other small farms and businesses. In 2020, we obtained the Food Manager Certification needed in order to be able to cook and sell food.
In 2021 we joined Harvest Farmers Market in Hampton and we were able to obtain our permit from Hampton Health Department to cook our pasture raised chicken on-site at the market. We’ve been frying our chicken since August 2021 and we sell out every market day. We are hoping to join other markets and cook a variety of meals, such as fried chicken, grilled sausages, turkey burgers and eggs. We will cook everything on site.
Together since 2009, wanting to better understand the communion between people and nature, driven by the desire to live a healthier life and the dream to be farmers, we opened PandA Homestead to learn about and practice regenerative agriculture principles.
We began our journey in the backyard of our house in Norfolk, where we grew our first tomato plant. We wanted to be able to raise animals, grow vegetables and fruits and be able to produce our own food, but our Norfolk backyard was not big enough. It took us close to three years to find our homestead. Once we moved and started living our dream, we quickly came to the realization that we want to teach others about this lifestyle and hopefully empower everybody to be more self-sufficient, while enjoying country living and having fun. But our bounty was so appreciated, that we had to turn our hobby and lifestyle into a successful farm business.
We’ve been operating our small farm in Capron, Southampton since 2018, mainly focusing on raising livestock for meat and eggs. We sell directly to our customers, via farmers markets, deliveries and farm pick-ups.
Over the past years we accumulated the experience and knowledge to run and operate a small business. We are now proficient at livestock management, buying and selling our products, record keeping, marketing, budgeting and establishing production targets. We continue to attend classes and conferences to expand our knowledge and to stay up-to-date with government regulations and we constantly apply the highest health and safety standards in our production and sales.
