Raw honey, farmshop
Blackland Farm & Cattle is a family owned regenerative cattle and bee farm in Riesel, Texas selling local honey from its own apiaries, with on farm pickup by appointment.
Blackland Farm & Cattle is a family owned farm at Riesel in Central Texas, grazing cattle in an intensive rotation that echoes how herds once moved across the prairie.
The farm also keeps bees, with apiaries foraging on native plants, and sets aside wild spaces that support local pollinators.
The honey comes from hives in Falls and McLennan Counties and is harvested once a year at the end of the honey flow in late summer. Buy it from stockists around Waco and neighbouring towns, arrange on farm pickup by appointment, or contact the farm about bulk and wholesale orders.

Absolutely terrible place. Would never recommend ever! DON’T GO HERE!!
Where do I even start… This place is a masterclass in disappointment. Everything about Blackland Farm & Cattle feels slapped together with the confidence of people who’ve never been told “no.” Overpriced, underwhelming, and somehow still acting like they’re God’s gift to agriculture.The vibes? Off. The attitude? Worse. It’s giving “we expect praise just for existing.” Customer service was colder than a February morning and twice as unpleasant. If you’re not already part of their little circle, good luck being treated like a human being. For a business that leans so hard into the farm-to-table aesthetic, you’d think there’d be some actual care involved but no. Just mediocrity wrapped in rustic branding and audacity. Save your money. Support literally any other farm that doesn’t act like they’re doing you a favor by letting you spend your hard-earned cash. Won’t be back, wouldn’t recommend, and honestly surprised this place gets the hype it does.

Bought a jar at Mart Market. Hands down the best honey 🍯 I have ever tasted 🙌
We love getting our beef, chicken and eggs from this wonderful local farm that is committed to sustainable practices. They're also super convenient with online ordering and weekly delivery to our front door (and only $2 delivery fee).
Best honey you will ever put in your mouth!
We just stocked our freezer with beef and everything we’ve tried is wonderful! (Bonus: Practical size packaging for meal planning). We’ve been getting chickens for years as well- always a family favorite. Honest hard working family Thoughtful about how they raise their food Always willing to answer questions and educate (I learn something every time we visit) Bottom line: I’ve seen where my food comes from and I feel great about feeding it to my family!
If you’re looking to buy local produce, these are the people to buy from. They have the best chicken, beef, and honey I have every had. Not only is the product great, they are the most friendly and honest people I have ever met. They will go above and beyond for their customers. Lifelong customer here.
—Awesome, hospitable, and some of the most down to earth, sweetest people I have met. They are willing to educate you on their products and you can tell they are committed to their work. Beef, poultry, and honey are the best we've ever tasted!
