Tell a Friend!

It’s now easier than ever to Give $15 and Get $15 through our Referral Program. We don’t spend a lot of money of advertising, but rather we focus on producing products that people love and are willing to tell others about. So we depend on word of mouth to find new customers and ultimately to heal more land.

So in an effort to streamline this process we have made it easier to tell others (via email, Facebook, or Twitter) about Watson Farms. And it’s all automated on the backend, so you don’t have to rely on us to issue the store credits manually. Just head over to our Referrals Page and start sharing!

Did you know that we have a webpage that displays all the reviews we have received?  

Check it out!

Check out this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review:

“I ordered several different cuts of beef from them. They were all excellent. Delivery went smoothly. Everything was packaged well and cleanly. I’ll definitely be a regular customer and look forward to trying their other products like ham. It’s nice to be able to buy from a local, family farm.”

We would greatly appreciate it if you would be kind enough to leave us a review.  It helps first-time customers purchase with confidence.

Thanks again for being partners in this endeavor of local, pasture-raised proteins that has truly transformed our farm.  We look forward to continuing this transition while serving you long into the future.

Sincerely,
The Watsons

Ag+Art Tour is Coming!

We wanted to make sure you knew about an upcoming opportunity to tour Watson Farms! We’ve participated in the Ag+Art Tour for a number of years now and it has been successful each time. We love the opportunity to offer a level of transparency that is rare in agriculture today, and we love having the various discussions with you as we travel across the farm seeing various groups of livestock.

Isn’t it interesting that regenerative farms often welcome transparency while industrial farms despise it? The fact that we can stand amongst our pigs or chickens or cows and barely smell anything is a big reason why we enjoy showing our farm to people. Compare that to the fact that many people don’t even want to be within a mile of a factory farm due to the stench. Of course, this is fine with the contract growers as their integrators make them sign contracts that preclude the general public from being allowed on these industrial farms anyway. We believe that when animals are raised correctly, the result is farm that is aesthetically and aromatically pleasing. In other words farms should be people-friendly.

So please make plans to come to Watson Farms on Saturday, June 24 from 10am to 4pm as part of the Ag+Art Tour! We will have vendors, a food truck, and hay rides around the farm. We also encourage you to tour other farms in various counties around South Carolina. Head over to their site for more details!

Stay tuned for more details coming next week!

Farm Photos of the Week

The cattle herd has done a wonderful job preparing the pasture for these young broilers who were turned out to pasture this week. They do better when the grass is short and the cows know exactly what to do when the grass is tall – EAT! The result of mob grazing followed by broiler groups over time has been a plethora of volunteer white clover in this particular field which is excellent forage for any of our animals and the bees love it too!

We hope everyone has a great Memorial Day tomorrow as we honor those who gave all for our country.

For several years now, we have had to partially rely on other producers to help us keep our freezer shelves stocked thanks to the astonishing growth our farm has experienced from more and more customers like yourself who have joined our land-healing ministry over the last few years. But before we partner with any other producer, we are very careful to properly examine the producer to ensure that they abide by the same protocols that you have come to expect from Watson Farms.

We know that our farm is fortunate to be one that hundreds of families across the Carolinas and beyond look to when it comes to sourcing 100% grass-fed beef. We know that they also expect our products to meet a number of other standards like:

We want to wish all the mothers out there a Happy Mother’s Day!
