About Us
Let's get personal
We are the Chavez family- Juan, Roxanne and Juan David - the faces behind Herd On The Street. We are a small farm operating in Somerset, Texas just South of San Antonio.
We are ✨First Generation Farmers✨ We started our farm journey exactly six years ago, with zero knowledge of any agricultural background, just pure love and passion for it. We acquired our land as “Raw Land” with no utilities and over taken by mesquite trees. Starting from scratch.. we had to build every fence, housing pen/shelter, and structures you may see in the background of our socials. Unlucky for us, we were never passed down generations of land or wealth to begin our journey. We are self-taught, self-motivated, and self-educated with lots of trial and lots of error. We simply learned the trade for ourselves and never looked back!
Our mission here is help you
"Get to Know Your Food Source" once again.
We want to give our community an opportunity to purchase our pasture raised beef, chicken, & pork raised directly on our farm. As well as, fresh pasture raised eggs & artisan sourdough bread.
When we first started Herd On The Street, our goal was to be able to provide our family meals that came solely from our property either grown or made here. Let us give you the same opportunity to experience how fresh, home grown food differs from what you buy at the local grocery store.
Farmer to Consumer
Direct to consumer farm good sales. We are cutting out the middle person! We are bypassing wholesalers and retailers out of this equation. This method allows our customers to purchase fresh meat, bread, dairy and produce directly from the source.

Our chickens are housed in "chicken tractors" thoughtfully built by Juan. Our chickens have access to fresh grass daily, as they're moved every feeding. Access to bugs from the pasture, as nature intended. Our chickens are free from medications, antibiotics, mRNA vaccines, and hormones, which combined with their diet and pasture rotation, leads to the best tasting chicken!
Pork

Bakery
We raise a mix of heritage breeds; KuneKune, Large Black and Ossabaw pigs.. this results in rich, marbled meat packed with TONS of flavor and tender dark meat.

YES! We also run an in-home micro bakery specializing in limited ingredient sourdough bread and baked goods. Roxanne's favorite bread was always sourdough and while on maternity leave she pursued her liking for the artisanal style bread. Our farm offers breads of all flavors, carefully selecting high-quality, clean ingredients.
