Bluebird Farmstand

Bluebird Farmstand, established in 1991 by Brian Ferris, has served East Texas for over 30 years. Originally under Bluebird Gap Farm, it is now located near the county lines of Smith and Van Zandt Counties. The Ferris family, including military veterans BW and Sonya, their son-in-law Robert Mayes, and their children and grandchildren, have continuously refined the business to meet the needs of homesteaders.

BW Ferris, having joined the Old Order Amish in 1992, learned sustainable agriculture and worked with draft horses. The farmstand emphasizes safe-sourced farm fresh produce, organic milk, pasture-raised eggs, and local honey. The Ferris family integrates traditional farming methods with modern homesteading practices.

Bluebird Farmstand offers additional services such as the Seed to Harvest program and Back to Basics workshops for homesteaders. The country store is expanding to include gardening supplies, homestead items, farmhouse decor, and other unique farm life treasures. Visitors are welcomed to 'Farm Around Year Round' with the Ferris family.
