How One Taste Changed Everything

We didn't just start a farm—we continued a family story that's been unfolding for generations across the rich soil of Texas. Nestled in the beautiful landscapes of Corsicana, Honey Pot Farmstead stands as both a tribute to our agricultural heritage and a bold step into farming's future. With farming blood from the Mitchell and Banks families flowing through our veins—families who worked the land for generations in Hood and Burnet counties—raising animals on Texas soil just feels right. But it was that fateful trip to Barcelona where everything clicked. One bite of Iberian pork, and my wife Sherryne and I looked at each other knowing our future had just changed. Back home, a family taste test of Mangalitsa pork sealed the deal—cattle were out, these woolly pigs were in! Now at Honey Pot Farmstead (yes, named after my "Hunny Bunny"), we're blending old-school farming wisdom with new discoveries to create something truly special here in Corsicana.

The Honey Pot Difference

Walk our pastures and you'll see it right away—this isn't your average Texas farm. Our prized Mangalitsa pigs are often called "the Kobe beef of pork" for good reason. With their distinctive wooly appearance and exceptional intramuscular marbling, they produce meat that's in a class of its own—richer, more flavorful, and with a buttery texture that simply melts in your mouth. Food enthusiasts and chefs seek out Mangalitsa pork for its deep red color, complex flavor profile, and that unmistakable clean finish that only comes from animals raised right. Alongside them, our St. Croix and Black Belly sheep roam freely on lush pastures, grazing just as nature intended. Every product that leaves our gate is a taste of what farming can be when you honor tradition while embracing innovation.
