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
