Welcome to the Greer Farm, a unique rural haven tucked away from the stresses of urban America. We are pleased that you have chosen to visit us.

Located near Daingerfield, Texas, the farm consists of lush pastures and towering pine trees and hardwoods nestled in the slow moving world of Northeast Texas. Here, we raise hay, fruit and berries, vegetables, flowers, pine timber and fullblood red and white Maine-Anjou cattle.

Our cattle eat only fresh grass forages and hay. No grain unless you request it! We believe grass finishing is better for the cattle and better for the consumer. If you are interested in purchasing some of our grassfed beef please go to our Maine-Anjou page or contact us directly. We are taking orders for fall 2009 at this time.

In 2005 we planted a berry and fruit orchard with blueberries, blackberries, figs, and plums. 2009 will be our fourth season at Greer Farm Pick Your Own. We welcome you to come out or call and see what we have available. Blackberries ripen starting in late May, blueberries in early June, and everything else shortly thereafter. Pre-picked berries are available in season. The berry season ends in late July and figs last through August.

We offer a farm stay unlike any other. Come and experience life on a working farm and ranch while staying in one of our four luxury log cabins or in the Hide-A-Way Loft. See what life on a farm is really about! Wander through our forest trails, enjoy bird watching or fish for bass and catfish in our lake. Arrange for a meal cooked by Chef Eva.

Chef Eva offers some of the best cuisine in this part of Texas, prepared and served with the utmost attention to detail. With the chef's international background, big city training and small town hospitality you are certain to have a meal to remember. Lunch and dinner menus are available for groups by prior arrangement. Occasionally, she prepares special dinners for smaller groups or for special occasions like anniversaries.

Chef Eva also offers a monthly cooking class here at the farm. In addition to scheduled classes, arrangements can be made for special group classes.

The Greer Farm has a unique retail special order nursery. We do not stock many plants and trees nor do we deal in the normal annual plants you can buy at discount stores. We have planted a diverse selection of unique plants, many native to Texas, that give a different balance, texture and color scheme to your garden. Our display gardens let you see our plants in a natural environment. We can work with you to find the right plants for your home. Please see the photo album for examples of the hundreds of different plants to which we have access.

We think we have a unique farm with some different approaches to making a living off the land. From our circa 1850 restored Texas Planters home to the log cabins, barns and share cropper buildings from the old plantation, we have tried to maintain the integrity of this land for future generations. The management of our forest has taken into consideration the aesthetics of the land as much as possible. On our farm, we practice sustainable agriculture techniques striving to improve the land. When you visit us we can show you what we have accomplished.

We invite you to visit us to pick some berries in the summer, see our cattle and nursery-gardens, or stay with us for a unique farm stay. Please feel free to contact us.

Thanks for visiting our website and supporting our family farm.

Eva, Sid and all of us at the farm
