Important information on what some chicken restaurants are saying about allowing antibiotics in commercially raised chicken. This TN farmer and I raise our meat birds the same way, without hormones, antibiotics and they are non-GMO. It's smart to know where your food comes from, its healthier for you and your family and its easy because we deliver in the RGV. We are outside San Benito. Live Local, Buy Local. CDJMiniRanch.com
The fast-food chain Chick-Fil-A announced that they will be using antibiotics in their chickens again, going back on their decade-old βno antibiotics everβ pledge.

This is one of my Kunekune Piglets. She was very tiny when born and never caught up with her brothers or sisters. So I brought her in for 1 day and night but she still struggled trying to nurse beside her siblings that are three times bigger than her. She is eating good and very strong.
We originally purchased our land here in San Benito, Texas, which is close to Mexico and South Padre Island where the gulf breeze always blows, and itβs a good thing too because it is hot and humid here almost 7 months out of the year. We originally started out as a homestead where we were just looking to live off the land by producing our own food to feed our family. We grow our own meat, beef, pork, chicken, duck, turkey, rabbits and our own dairy products and crops. We canned and put up our vegetables and butchered our own meat. As our interest in certain animals and the way they are handled and fed grew, so did our interested in selling what we grow.
We are a Certified Naturally Grown Farm & Ranch where we sell our farm fresh organically raised chicken eggs, USDA Certified pork and beef, rabbits, turkeys, and chicken. We also sell several birds which include many types of heritage chickens & eggs, Midget Whites & Bourbon Red turkeys & eggs, Pilgrim Geese & eggs, and Buff ducks & eggs (when laying). Along with our many birds, we also raise and sell DNA tested and registered Kunekune pigs, duel registered Nigerian dwarf dairy goats, mini rex rabbits, miniature cattle, and miniature donkeys. We also sell the offspring of our animals.
We have several of our added value items for sale online on our web site, which included our freeze-dried okra, avocado, tomatoes, mango, watermelon, onion, jalapeΓ±os, bell peppers, green beans. We also have canned cowboy candy β hot and sweet jalapeΓ±os, spicy orange marmalade and soon more jellies and canned goods.
We also have an Agritourism business, which after much praying, budgeting and all things that go with running a small family owned Ranch/Farm, to open CD&J Mini Ranch to the public. We will offer our facilities for Family Reunions, Office Parties, School Field Trips, Scouting functions, and Fun Ranch Activities, reservations will be required. We have picnic tables, a play area, and an area for petting miniature baby goats (kids), miniature rabbits (kits), miniature calves , & Kunekune piglets or any variety of baby animals we may have at different times of the year. We will have goat milking, egg gathering, miniature donkey grooming, fishing, we also have a large BBQ pit for rent.
For adults and older children, we will be offering classes on canning, jelly making, butchering, processing, soap making, cheese making, and cooking lessons. Look for additional information on our CD&J Mini Ranch web site and page. Be sure to friend us and let us know if you are interested in our upcoming classes. We are all about learning and - Family Fun Time!
Please email us at [email protected] for additional information. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
