The Red Thistle Farm
started with a crazy dream, a handful of ducks and a few chickens.
In 2018 my partner David and I mustered up a big dose of sheer nerve,
packed up our youngest teenage daughter, left our city life in
midtown Tulsa and moved to a small plot of almost raw land.
Many of what we call our "Ricky & Lucy" escapades followed...
I wrecked the tractor. David encountered a snake every time he turned around.
The pigs ran off to the neighbors. The neighbor's pigs then moved in with us.
We lived on top of each other in a vintage RV with a teenager,
four dogs and a cat for almost two years.
Hawks killed the chickens and I killed the tomatoes...
So many failures & hard lessons. And we are still learning everyday.
So yes our fledging farm is a work in progress.
Last year we found a better fit for our family and now
we ethically raise Heritage Pork on pasture and Free-range Chicken
and Ducks for eggs on a small nine-acre farm,
situated on a 600 acre cattle ranch, in Stroud, Oklahoma.
It's beautiful out here and we have killer sunsets. We love it.
Everyday is a new adventure. Some are idyllic. Most are really hard.
But we wouldn't have it any other way. Come see us at the farm! --- Chef Hope
*At this time we do not offer pork or eggs for sale to the public,
Everything we we raise and grow goes onto the plates for our family & the catering company.
