Great place went to check it outand he was closed. He went and got what I wanted. Will be going back everything I need his product. Very professional.
The best sweet corn 🌽...can't wait to try their tomatoes 🍅
Grass-fed and grass-finished cows, pasture raised chickens, goat and lamb products, they got almost everything I need. If you're looking for local meat products raised properly with care, this is a great place to buy from. Very friendly owners as well, highly recommend.
Big D’s farm is a wonderful luscious farm that has the biggest fattest and ripest vegetables. This lovely country farm has large potential in the metaverse. Bradley Dearing is a wonderful human with phenomenal qualities that are mirrored throughout this family farm. This is a magical place that I would love to NFT in a heart beat. 11/10 must visit!
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up

This is literally the RADDEST farm iv'e ever been to. Everything they sell is absolutley delicious. Not to mention the man who runs the farm is quite possibly Jesus in his second coming.I dont think there is anyone more manly/savage than Brad Dearing. His firm handshake alone killed someone. You can give him a two by four and he can build a machine gun out of it. You MUST buy from this man's family farm.
Dearing Country Farms is fabulous! I am a CSA member and absolutely enjoy my weekly (in the summer) and bi-weekly (in the winter) share. Their beef is lean, and for those of you who like beef liver it is wonderful - deep and dark it has a rich taste - better than i've ever had in my life. I bought a quarter side of their beef...fantastic. Their chicken? Clean and pure and a delight to serve at my table. And then there are the eggs. Fresh Fresh Fresh. I'm also one of the lucky ones who gets to take home goats milk. I encourage everyone to check them out. They are at the Bloomington Saturday Farmers Market. Take home a dozen eggs, or a delicious chicken. And take the time to talk with Jackie or Brad to learn more about their farm.
