Pre-purchase isn’t required, but it helps us plan for food and drinks. We love leftovers, but… not that much. 😅
🐂 Gilbert's Adventure
Our favorite fuzzy buddy Gilbert is visiting our friends at Windmill Acres Pumpkin Patch. He’s getting spoiled with treats, pets, and even has a new Highland friend to hang with. He’ll be back before Thanksgiving and we’ll be thrilled to welcome him home.
🛠️ Barn Makeover
We’re tidying up and making everything more user-friendly inside the barn. Products are being reorganized, and the milk fridge will now be next to the freezer trailer for easier access.
🛠️ Gus is maybe turning the little loft into a man cave (finally). If it stops him from buying duplicate tools... that’s a win.
👩🌾 Meet Breck — Our New Ranch Hand!
As Stanley heads off to new adventures with the U.S. Army (we’ll miss him so much 💛), we welcome Breck to the team!
She’s taken on daily chores, packing orders, and runs the show during open hours:
🕙 TUES & THURS: 10am–6pm | SAT: 10am–5pm
She’s passionate about farming and dreams of running her own farm one day. We’re lucky to have her!
🥛 Seasonal Milk Flavors

🌾 Texas Edition
🐷 Tammabelle Had Her Babies!
Tammy (Tammabelle) had her babies last month and they are absolutely thriving! They were housed in the backyard where there was existing shelter from the elements since we weren't quite expecting them so soon, as is always the case. They have since moved back out to pasture with their own sweet little set up. Momma and babies will stay separated from the others just a little longer but they have plenty of room to roam and root.
🥚 New Egg Layers
Our new hens are settling in beautifully — learning the lay of the land (get it? 😄). We’ll be rolling out fresh eggs soon, and pullet eggs are in season now — small but mighty!
🎓 Homeschool Adventures
HLR-TX is a homeschooling household, and this month we’re hosting the Henderson County homeschool group.
🗺️ Ranch tour + pulled pork sandwiches (because ranch walking = hungry).
🎨 Free HLRTX coloring sheets for kids.
