We are a first generation diversified family farm. It all started with our struggle to maintain our health. It was then that the goal of providing chemical free whole food for our family became so important. How would we know what was in our food and how was it raised and what were we putting in our bodies unless we knew the source from which it came. The thought of "You are what you eat" was revelation. As we provided real food, whole food for our family, others were asking how they could be supplied with such clean food. So by the request of others our Farm began to grow from providing for just our family but for others also. We believe so much in the wholeness and pureness of foods. We believe that you must know where your food comes from and how it is raised. As farming has become our lifestyle it has also become our passion, which has taught us and still teaches us many lessons.
Our family, my wife and me along with our ten children, share in the responsibility of nurturing the animals and our soil, which in turn provides food for our family and yours. Priority is taken in making sure that we do not harm our land by over grazing and depleting the soil that feeds us. What is processed on our Farm is turned back into the land through composting which is later used for feeding the soil with minerals and nutrients. Being good stewards of the land has great rewards.
Our Farm is nestled just west of Lafayette in Scott on 22 acres of open land. Settled within those acres are 18 acres of Certified Organic earth, it is here that we grow our vegetables, raise our chickens and turkeys, and graze our cows, sheep and goats. It is here where real food is grown for real people...you!
See you soon,
The Gotreaux Family
