Video Edition
We made a video of a paddock shift yesterday! Pay special attention to the impact of the mob on the paddock they’re moving from and the difference between the old and new paddocks. This is mob grazing in action.
Also, to see it in person be sure to come our for Spring Farm Day on Saturday!

Also, if you need to stock up on beef now is a good time! We just re-stocked with a good load the other day and we may not have another load like that coming in for a while as we try to get the perfect finish on our cattle.

Check them out!
Check out this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review from Doretta:
“Our family loves these products! You never know what you’re getting in the grocery stores these days, unfortunately. Buy local and live healthy!”
We would greatly appreciate it if you would be kind enough to leave us a review. It helps first-time customers purchase with confidence.
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!
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
