Behind the Oaks Farm is a family run farm in Schertz, Texas, led by Zachary and Samantha Platt with help from their children.
They raise livestock along regenerative lines, caring for the land and the animals in a way they believe nourishes the community, and visitors are welcome to see the farm for themselves.
Their farm raised meat and other goods are sold at local farmers' markets and through online orders, with delivery to the surrounding area. The farm itself opens for collection on Saturday mornings.

Very friendly staff, prices are great for what you get! Quality of the beef, chicken and eggs are amazing. Will definitely be my families new go-to! Can’t wait to try more. God bless this family and land for what they provide.
Happy to get the fresh frozen chicken. Wish you offered vegetables at the New Braunfels farmer's market.
My wife buys these eggs. They're filthy. In America eggs are washed and refrigerated before being sold to the consumer. But, these eggs aren't washed. They have all manner of crap on them. Really gross.
Behind the Oaks and Zach deliver quality goods that taste the best.
I love this place! They truly know how to farm the right way. They are excellent stewards of the land the Lord has given them. As soon as I pulled up to pick up my order I was greeted by the family farm children. It makes you feel like you're part of the family. And if you go at the right time of day you get a jet show from the neighborhood Air Force Base. It was very exciting. Their meat and eggs are very fresh and tasty. Samantha carried out my order to the car and we had a very nice conversation getting to know one another. I highly recommend every one support local ranchers and farmers. Yes you may pay more but at least you know where your meat comes from and you can have confidence that it's handled with care and not fed toxic food or given steroids and antibiotics. You are what you eat. Either pay now and stay healthy or pay later to doctors.
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
We had a tour of the farm given by Zach and it was truly enlightening. It was great to see true stewards of the land and animals in action, but also explaining what they do. I also purchased several different products including ground beef and chicken thighs. This is some of the highest quality, best tasting meat you will ever have. Prices are excellent for the quality and everyone was helpful and friendly. Thank you for the tour! We will be back for more of your excellent products.
We have ordered from Zach and family at Behind the Oaks Farm for several years now, and cannot rave enough about how great their products are. We've ordered a half calf, many multiple pounds of hamburger meat, pork roasts, chicken & more. Service is prompt, courteous, friendly. We would love to do a subscription for eggs, produce, & meats, but travel so much that it isn't feasible at this time. Otherwise, we'd be stocking up on a monthly basis! Their newsletters are informative and entertaining, and I love Samantha's recipes and cooking tips. We are so blessed that this regenerative, family farm is in our area and that we can buy locally, the highest quality and best tasting meats anywhere around!
Great experience ordering chicken from behind the oaks farm, highly recommend you give them a try! Received 17 whole chickens to stock the freezer and we’ll definitely be a repeat customer. Support local farms!
