About Gnarled Oak Farm
Hernando, Mississippi
Gnarled Oak Farm is a small family farm in the Mississippi Hill country. We raise Belted Galloway cows (the Oreo cows) and other heritage breeds of livestock, including sheep, pigs, turkeys, chickens, all on pasture. We work hard to do it in a way that enhances clean water, wildlife, and ecosystem health.
We believe in diversity. And soil health. And that ecosystem health is directly linked to human health. Our mission is to foster a system that improves the environment while providing food and other regenerative products to a growing community. We believe that regenerative practices can do that and more. Our practices include intensive rotational grazing, planting cover crops, no sprays, no tillage, and plant and livestock diversity.
We started farming in 2017 and have been expanding and diversifying since then.
