About Coyote Creek Farm

Established in 2007, Coyote Creek Organic Feed Mill is the first commercial organic feed mill in the state of Texas. Our goals for the mill are to foster organic grain farming, lower the carbon footprint for organic feeds, foster cooperation between organic grain farmers and organic food and livestock producers, and improve local and regional farming economic opportunities. All our organic feeds are made with certified organic ingredients, and meet the USDA’s national organic standards. We also inspect and test incoming grain to make sure that it meets our high standards.

We are dedicated to sustainable, organic farming, and ranching practices, coupled with the humane treatment of all farm animals. Therefore one of our primary goals is to promote organic grain production in Texas, and to provide those farmers a ready market for their crops. By encouraging farms around us to become organic, we will promote economic prosperity for small to medium sized sustainable family farms. We will reduce carbon emissions by reducing transport costs from trucks, rail, and ships. We will provide the highest quality organic feeds that are free of antibiotics, hormones, and recycled animal byproducts. In addition our small farmer customers will be able to take more organic eggs to their local Farmer’s Markets. They will be able to feed their cattle, sheep, and goats on a healthy diet of organic feeds to produce a superior meat product.
