Flying Pig Cattle Co.

Let’s be honest—there’s something deeply satisfying about knowing exactly where your food comes from. And no, “Walmart” doesn’t count. When you buy from a local farm like ours, you’re not just getting fresh, high-quality products; you’re supporting a way of life that values community, sustainability, and real, honest-to-goodness food.

Still need convincing? Let’s break it down.

1. Freshness You Can Taste

Ever had milk so fresh that you know the name of the cow or goat it came from? When you buy from a local farm like us, your food isn’t traveling hundreds (or thousands) of miles or sitting on a shelf for who-knows-how-long. It’s straight from the source—full of flavor, nutrients, and that farm-fresh magic you just can’t get anywhere else.

2. You Know Your Farmer, They Know You

Buying local isn’t just a transaction; it’s a relationship. When you shop with a small farm, you’re not dealing with some faceless corporation—you’re chatting with real people who genuinely care about their products and their customers. Want to know how the goats are doing? Ask us! Want to meet the new calf? Absolutely! Curious about what the cows ate for breakfast? We’re happy to share (spoiler: it wasn’t cereal).

3. Supporting Your Community Feels Pretty Darn Good

Every dollar you spend at a local farm stays in your community, helping small businesses thrive. That means stronger local economies, more job opportunities, and a town that isn’t just a bunch of chain stores and parking lots.

Some of the money you spend with us gets passed along to other local small business and is used to support our community. For example, we have sponsored a buckle for the Prairie County Fair for several years. When you shop with us, we can give back.

4. Less Mystery, More Real

Local farms take pride in producing real, good, and high-quality food. If you have questions about the products, you don’t have to be left wondering. You can ask the farmer anything and they are happy to explain. Whether it’s raw milk, fresh eggs, or handmade goat milk soap, you’re getting simple, high-quality products made with care.

5. Visiting a Farm is Way More Fun Than the Store

Who doesn’t love a little fresh air and the occasional goat sighting? Shopping at a local farm gives you a chance to see where your food comes from and maybe even meet the animals. It’s a shopping experience that’s way more Instagram-worthy than a crowded grocery aisle.

6. Do Your Part to Protect the Planet

When you buy local, your food travels a fraction of the distance it would if it were shipped from across the country (or world). That means fewer emissions, less packaging, and a happier planet. Plus, many small farms use sustainable practices that are beneficial for the land, the animals, and the future.

7. You Get First Dibs on the Good Stuff

Farm-fresh products are in high demand, and the people who shop local know that the best milk, eggs, and produce go fast. When you build a relationship with your farmer, you’re the first to hear about what’s available. Want the freshest milk and the newest goat milk soap before it sells out? Guess who gets the inside scoop? (Hint: It’s you.)

So, What Are You Waiting For?

Shopping local isn’t just about food—it’s about connection, quality, and knowing that you’re making a difference. Plus, let’s be real: nothing beats the taste of fresh, farm-direct products.

Next time you need milk, eggs, or the best-smelling goat milk soap you’ve ever laid your hands on, skip the big-box store and visit your local farm. We promise it’s worth it.

And hey, if you’re in the area, come see us at Flying Pig Cattle Co. We’ve got fresh raw milk, handmade goat milk soap, and maybe even a friendly goat or two waiting to say hello.
