About Whitehurst Heritage Farms: Whitehurst Heritage Farms produces rotationally grazed pastured egg layers, meat chickens, turkeys and pork in a way that mimics animals' natural patterns in nature. Following in the thought leadership of Scandinavian agriculture they produce organic vegetables using greenhouses for controlled environments, weather protection and season extension. To meet the growing needs of chef/owned restaurants and consumer request of clean local food the farm expanded in 2017 from Cypress, TX to a 57-acre property in Brenham, TX. They believe in complete transparency in their artisan methods and how they care for their animals and plants.
