About Shady Oaks Farms

Shady Oaks Farms is a family-run farm in the Ozarks specializing in pasture-raised chicken. They are committed to providing high-quality, nutrient-dense poultry without antibiotics, artificial additives, or saline injections. By purchasing from Shady Oaks, you’re not just getting better-tasting chicken—you’re supporting sustainable, ethical farming.


How to Order

There are several easy ways to get Shady Oaks Farms' incredible products:

  • Shop in person every Saturday at the Fort Smith Farmers Market

  • Pick up anytime from their freezer at the Main Street Mercantile in Van Buren

  • Order online at www.shadyoaksfarms.net for convenient pickup at select locations


Why I Love Shady Oaks Farms

This farm offers some of the best chicken in the Ozarks—affordable, flavorful, and never pumped full of saline (which, yes, is sadly common in grocery store chicken). They make it easy to shop with multiple pickup locations, and their commitment to pasture-raising ensures a better-tasting and more nutritious product.


What They Offer

  • Pasture-Raised Chicken: Whole chickens and various cuts, including breasts, thighs, wings, and drumsticks

  • Grass-Fed Beef: Steaks, roasts, ground beef, and offal

  • Raw A2 Dairy: A2 raw milk, cream, and butter

  • Eggs: Fresh, pasture-raised eggs

  • Specialty Products: Honey, elderberry products, cooking tallow, and natural remedies


Shady Oaks Farms makes it easy to support local agriculture while enjoying high-quality food. I highly recommend checking them out!
