At Food, Fire, Family, LLC our goal is to provide the cleanest, most nutrient-dense food we can for our family and our community. Based at Grubb Ranch, in Purmela, TX, we utilize regenerative farming methods to sustain the land and improve the soil health below our feet. 

We currently produce pasture raised chickens, rabbits, quail and goats. All of our animals are fed a high quality, locally produced diet that is tailored to their individual needs. Our carbon footprint is kept in check by utilizing our abundant pastures, local feed and on farm fruits, vegetables and other feedstocks. We invite you to join us in making a difference in your health and community while savoring every tasty bite!   

PASTURED EGGS

Our mixed flock lives and thrives on our chemical free pastures giving us the healthiest eggs we have ever tasted. Our eggs come in all shapes and colors but each one has the golden rich yolk that makes them shining stars.  They sell fast, so reserve some of our delicious eggs for your family here. 

REGENERATIVE FARMING PRACTICES

We believe that the healthiest, most nutrient-dense food comes from the healthiest animals. We know the healthiest animals grow outside on healthy pastures with a polyculture of forages, on soils that are thriving and teaming with life below our feet. Rotating our animals on a continuous basis allows our pastures to receive a healthy amount of all-natural fertilizer throughout the year.  An abundance of invasive woody plants on our property also allows us to routinely harvest them to protect our local species and utilize the materials. Our goats love to strip the greenery from these cuttings, and we use the leftovers to make our own compost and mulch. We also use dead and dying trees as mulch, compost, fuel, and in our hügelkultur plantings. Our aim is to implement farming practices that protect, care for and add to our soils.

Join us in making the land better while feeding yourself delicious, healthy food!

RESOURCE CONSERVATION

We are always striving to make this world a cleaner, healthier place for future generations.  Grubb Ranch has been running on solar power since June of 2019! When appropriate and available we utilize as much recycled and or recyclable packaging as possible. Our purpose-built farm structures and animal habitats are made here on the farm with reclaimed materials we acquire throughout our community. Water conservation is also paramount to our success and the most challenging obstacle to overcome. We try to implement as many water wise techniques as possible including mulching, water catchment, low water requirement plantings and hügelkultur development. Early morning watering using subsoil irrigation has proven to be a huge steppingstone for our fledgling orchard. We keep our carbon footprint in check by shopping local for ourselves and for the farm.  Partnering with a local feed producer has added even more sustainability to our feed program and reduced the amount of fossil fuel required to feed our animals.
