About Us
Goose Island Farm is a family-run farm owned by David and Elizabeth Lewis. Elizabeth was raised on an Oklahoma farm and together she and David have been stewards of the land for over 10 years.
We invite you, our customer, to become a member of our family because when we sell a product we know that we've raised it to be as healthy as possible. This is our promise to you: any product you buy from us will be the best we can provide and as healthy as we can raise for you, our customer family. When you buy from Goose Island Farm, you buy a premium product.
Come and visit us at the farm. We'll be happy to show you around and answer any questions. We're not a factory farm, we're a family farm and so everything we do is open to any customer that wants to see. Give us a call and make sure we'll be around and then come on out!

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
- Beef
Beef from Goose Island Farm has been raised as close to nature as possible, being fed only grass and hay, never given steroids, growth-hormones, or antibiotics. This results in a product that is in many ways the best food you can put in your body. Studies show that grass-fed beef has less fat than your average supermarket chicken. Grass-fed beef contains 3 times as much cancer-fighting omega-3 fatty acids and has a heart-healthy balance of HDL to LDL cholesterol. Seems like nature may have known what she was doing after all, doesn't it?
Here at the farm you can buy beef by the cut or by the side. If you have the freezer space, buying by the side can offer a good savings over buying by the cut. Since prices have come down, it might be worth it to invest in a chest freezer for your family.
- Lamb
Goose Island Farm raises Katahdin and Blackbelly "hair" sheep. These breeds have mostly hair instead of wool and their meat contains much less lanolin than wool breeds. This results in a milder, less "muttony" flavor. If you think you don't like the taste of lamb because of what you've tried in the past, it may be time to give it another chance.
Our lamb is grass-fed (see the Beef section above on why grass-fed is the ONLY kind of beef or lamb you should be buying) and antibiotic, steroid, and growth-hormone free.
Goose Island Farm's lamb is available as a half or a whole. A whole usually dresses out at between 30 and 40 lbs. Lamb is cut to order so you may need to contact us up to 2 months in advance so that we may have the butcher cut your meat to your specifications.
- Poultry & Eggs
Our chicken is lean, tender, and full of flavor. Our eggs have a bright, healthy yellow yolk. Like all our foods, neither our meat chickens nor our egg layers are given hormone injections or antibiotics. Nor do we ever give any of our animals feed made from byproducts of other animals. Chickens are not ruminants, like sheep or cattle, and so cannot survive on grass alone. Our free-range poultry is raised on pasture, corn, and grower mix.
Chicken is available as a whole and eggs are by the dozen.
