Amber Oaks Ranch - Thrall, Texas

The meat is amazing. I don't even want to eat out anymore because I know what I have at home is far superior. So grateful for these good people doing this good work to feed us so well. Love that it's all grass fed and finished, humanely raised, no pesticides or hormones. Before I found Amber Oaks, I tried Wild Pastures, but the meat had a weird taste. Everything from Amber Oaks has been exceedingly delicious. Love love love! Got a belly full of ribeye tonight. Fat and happy. Life is good. 🤗

We have been purchasing our meats from Amber Oaks for well over a year now at the Elgin Farmers Market and are always thrilled with the quality of their product. John and Molly post a newsletter on a regular basis that shows the reality of the hardships (and of course victories, no matter how small) that come when your livelihood is dependent on nature. They have a great philosophy for doing what they do and are great stewards to the land and animals they farm. Give them a try, you will not turn back!

You Must Go To Taylor Market Square!!!

I have been visiting the Taylor Farmers Market for a couple of years now. The Pavillon at the downtown Taylor Square is a great way to get protection from this intense Texas Sunshine!!

The amazing People/Vendors are the best!
The quality of products all farm fresh, handmade one of a kind items that you will NOT find anywhere else.

My favorites are the Milan "The Krautfather" who sells The Best Sauerkraut I have ever eaten. His Sauerkraut is one of the reasons I keep going back to the Market! Yes, it's that good.
Fair warning....he is just as spicy as the Sauerkraut! 😉

Karen who sells the best micro greens and mushrooms this side of 79. Another one of those reasons is her quality product.
Since I have been eating her micro greens, my health has improved and my "numbers" are improving dramatically.
You are what you eat!!!
FOOD AS MEDICINE, she's got it!

The most unique one was the young couple with a new baby who sells 3-D printed art. It is some of the most unique and interested items very popular with the Star Wars Fans. They also had a handmade peacock made with the most detail that sparkled like a diamond when bathed in sunlight...was so memorable. Beautiful.

Then there's the Steve from Coupland Honey Company (FARM) who sells the best Honey, Eggs and garden produce that will make your mouth water. I had some of the best heirloom tomatoes, eggplant and okra this summer from their garden.

The Tangled Mane is another one of those handmade Vendors who sells leather goods. Her name is Mary, sweet lady who can custom make just about anything. My custom made wallet was exactly what I asked for along with the custom bracelets for my family.

There is a vendor who make fresh baked artisan breads, another who has the best the Gourmet Popcorn, Nanny Goat Salsa, Coffee vendor (so good)...there are so many great Vendors who are the nicest people and have some of the best things around the area you will not find in any store.

The handmade decor for your home is another draw as these items are so unique and beautiful you won't find anywhere else but at the Taylor Market Square.
Want to impress someone at Christmas?.....look no further!

One of my absolute favorite is Debbie P. who sells Flowers! Her Garden must be like EDEN as she brings it every time she's there.

On occasion, there is live music from a local Musician, which adds to the flavor and flare of this wonderful place. It's laid back, easy going and has that "how things used to be" vibe.
There is a small but nice play space right next to the pavilion so your little ones can burn up their energy while you shop.
The Bathrooms are right next to the Market and kept clean for the most part.

OH! and I can't forget the amazing Molly P. who runs the show! She is amazing human who truly cares for the people. The meats from her FARM is absolutely the best around town.
She is a powerhouse of a Woman and can make just about anything happen. Her FARM is one of the best around the area and offers so many Family friendly events throughout the year.

So, the next time you want to "Go to Market", make the trip to Taylor Market Square.

Your loyal FAN,
"The WonderfulWon"

We usually get their eggs and meat at the Pflugerville farmers market. Every time it's always a pleasure interacting with John and Molly!

Their eggs are super rich and dark yellow. Signs of healthy hens! And their meats are always fresh and tasty. Also their ordering process for custom pickup really helps during quarantine. And I love how transparent they are about their homestead and methods in their newsletters. It's nice to be connected to your local producers.

My children and I were warmly welcomed at Amber Oaks Ranch this spring as we visited and learned about how the grass fed/pastured meat we order from them is raised. The ranch where our food is grown is beautiful in it's simplicity and it's complexity.
John and Molly are passionate and knowledgeable about what they do. They make ordering and picking up our meat so easy and are willing to go the extra mile.
I would recommend highly Amber Oaks Ranch to people wanting high quality meat with great customer service!

I found Amber Oaks at the Pflugerville farmers market, and started off with some ground beef. I was truly amazed at how much beefy flavor it had so I had to go back for more. I went for the lamb, eggs, and some beef roasts... And now I'm signed up for regular orders! Its also pretty cool to get to talk to John and see why I enjoy what he produces so much. He's got a great vibe and clearly enjoys what he does.

Local sourcing for grass fed beef, pork, turkeys, and chickens sold weekly at farmers markets in Pflugerville, Hutto, etc., this family run ranch serves up the best beef (including organs) I've tasted here near north Austin. (and believe me, grass fed liver is *completely* different from even "organic" store bought). Call or email in a pre-order; Molly and John are happy to work directly with you.
