Oink! A cute update from our fields đŸ·

Who says cows are the only farm animals who love to graze? Tell that to these happy campers enjoying a delicious, decidedly grassy snack! We think they'd have to agree that a good serving of greens makes all of us feel better.

When you shop at Acorn Acres Farm you can feel good about your purchases being humanely raised and all natural. Our animals enjoy open pastures and nutritious grasses which is better for you and for the planet. We're proud to offer high-quality products from our farm to your family's table, stop by and see what we have in the store this week!
