Our Core Values

When you make the decision to purchase food from Bayou Sarah Farms, you are not only nourishing your family but also your community, your local soils, and countless wild species. Bayou Sarah Farms is a woman owned, fully regenerative family farm in Saint Francisville, Louisiana. We pasture-raise Water Buffalo and Heritage Laying Hens on 50 acres of land, in a radically traditional way.

If there was ever a time to know your farmer, it is now. When deciding who you want to support, we hope you'll choose us—local, hard-working farmers, regenerating our land and producing the most nutrient dense products available.

  • We provide our animals with a peaceful, healthy life- as nature intended.

  • We raise our water buffalo on open pastures, allowing them to express their natural, instinctive animal behaviors. They only eat grass!

  • Our chickens move to fresh pastures daily which allows them to forage for grubs, bugs, seeds, and plants.

  • We are committed to a zero-waste model, selling meat to customers, turning unused products like hides and tallow into handmade consumer goods, and composting to return nutrients to the soil in our pastures.

  • We believe farming must not only be sustainable, but has to be regenerative to rebuild our soil and mitigate climate change.

  • Our holistic planned grazing methods use animal impact to sequester carbon, control erosion, and increase the organic matter in our soils
