 Back Woods Family Farm is a small sustainable family farm located in Sophia in Randolph County N.C. We are Wesley and Claudia Petersonand we have three children Angela, Christi, and Jason.We have been farming fulltime since 2002. We specialize in chemical and antibiotic free grass fed poultry for meat and eggs and pastured raised pork. We also grow some seasonal vegetables.

 All our animals are raised without the use of any chemicals, antibiotics, hormones, or animal by-products. We grow all our feed for the animals with organic methods and mix the feed ourselves. This ensures we know what goes into our animals.Our grass fed meat chickens are grown on pasture in movable pens. They are fed a supplement of grains we grow. This produces the cleanest, safest, best tasting meat you can get.

 Our layers are raised in fixed houses where the doors are opened every day so they can free range all over the farm. They are fed a supplement of grain grown by us. This produces eggs

high in omega 3 and omega 6.

 Our pigs are grown in fenced wooded lots where they have plenty of room to root and forage. They are fed a diet of corn and organic vegetables grown by us.This produces pork with rich color and flavor that has no chemicals or medications in it.

 To try our products you can either come by the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market; table 147 on Saturdays 6 til 12. Come by our farm, or call and email orders in and for price list. Delivery available.

Well fall is finally starting to come to the farm.  You can see signs starting to show, a faint hint of color in the trees, alittle coolness in the night air.  We get to see other signs like the littles pigs we got in April, they are big and fat now from all the summer vegetables.  The little baby chicks that you could hold in your hand in the spring, they are starting to lay their eggs.  It's always reviving to see the seasons begin to change.  The first signs of fall always get me in the mood to get ready for winter.  It's time to harvest the field corn that will feed the animals through the winter.  We also bring int he pumpkins to feed.  It won't be long and it will be time to bring in the root crops which will also be feed for the animals for the winter.

Our daughter Christi (16) and our son Jason (10) are not new to farming, they have worked right beside us since we moved here five years ago.  they decided they wanted to own something of their own, take care of it and try to make a profit.  So they went in together and bought 25 laying hens of their own.  They were so proud when the firs small pullet eggs began to arrive last week.  I told them they were real farmers now.  Soon we will have some of their eggs at the market.
