Welcome to the Greer Farm, a unique rural haven tucked away from the stresses of urban America. We are pleased that you have chosen to visit us.

Located near Daingerfield, Texas, the farm consists of lush pastures and towering pine trees and hardwoods nestled in the slow moving world of Northeast Texas. Here, we raise hay, fruit and berries, pine timber and fullblood red and white Maine-Anjou cattle. Our cattle eat only fresh grass and forages and hay. No grain! We believe this is better for the cattle and better for the consumer. If you are interested in purchasing some of our grassfed beef please go to our Maine-Anjou page or contact us directly.

In 2005 we began converting one of our pastures into a berry and fruit orchard. We planted blueberries, blackberries, figs, and plums. 2008 will be the third season at Greer Farm Pick Your Own. We welcome you to come out or call and see what we have available. Blackberries ripen starting in late May, blueberries in early June, and everything else shortly thereafter. Pre-picked berries are available in season.

If you're looking for a farm stay, come spend a weekend in one of our four luxury log cabins or in the Hide-A-Way Loft. See what life on the farm is really about! Wander through our forest trails and fish for bass and catfish in our lake. Arrange for a meal cooked by Chef Eva. The cabins are situated on our private 11 acre lake and all have a kitchenette, queen bed, sleeper sofa, and private bathroom. The Hide-A-Way Loft has a kitchenette with queen bed up and futon double down. Greer Farm is the perfect locale from which to enjoy the best that Northeast Texas has to offer. Daily and weekend rates available for your next rural adventure or retreat.

The Greer Farm has a unique retail special order nursery. We do not stock large numbers of plants and trees nor do we deal in the normal annual plants you can buy at discount stores. We have planted a diverse selection of unique plants, many native to Texas, that give a different balance, texture and color scheme to your garden. Our display gardens let you see our plants in a natural environment. We can work with you to find the right plants for your home. Please see the photo album for examples of the hundreds of different plants to which we have access.

Chef Eva offers some of the best cuisine in this part of Texas, cooked and served with the utmost attention to detail. With the chef's big city training and small town hospitality you are certain to have a meal to remember. Lunch and dinner menus are available.

We think we have a unique farm with some different approaches to making a living off the land. From our circa 1850 restored Texas Planters home to the log cabins, barns and share cropper buildings from the old plantation, we have tried to maintain the integrity of this land for future generations. The management of our forest has taken into consideration the aesthetics of the land as much as possible.

We invite you to visit us to pick some berries and see our cattle and nursery. Please feel free to contact us.

Thanks for visiting

Eva, Sid and all of us at the farm
