Our Local Market Vendors
White Sand Homestead
A Permaculture farm offering grass fed and grass finished beef & lamb, and forested heritage pork along with eggs from White Sand Homestead's pasture-raised chickens. The farm’s focus on the regenerative care of the soil and its sustainable approach to raising livestock is helping bring back the pecan orchard on the land. Each year, the trees produce more pecans and their pigs couldn’t be happier. White Sand Homestead is located in Poplarville, MS along green rolling hills. Respect for the land, animals, and a desire to offer better food inspired Allen Snellings to embrace the principles of Permaculture and establish a farm. Come meet Allen at our Tuesday and Sunday markets and discover why top New Orleans chefs and restaurants are among his customers. .
