Wedding Cakes

100% certified organic luscious decadent goodness!

Our cakes are 100% organic as well, and are as luscious and decadent as any available. Most cakes are filled with artificial flavors, synthetic colors, lard, and icing from commercial buckets, which is easier to spread and apply but contains questionable ingredients. Everything from the Barr Mansion kitchen is made from scratch. You and your guests will be amazed by our cakes and desserts!

Why Is Barr Mansion Organic?

We believe it is the ultimate challenge of our generation and the recipe for survival.

"The sooner we make an investment in organics as a society, the better off we're all going to be at all levels, from our own personal health to the ecological health of the planet."
     – Timothy J. LaSalle, Ph.D., CEO Rodale Institute

We can no longer afford to have 90% of our food market monopolized by out-of-control corporations, chemical and energy intensive factory farms and profit-at-any-cost retail chains. So….Don’t Panic – Go Organic and join the movement to preserve our community, restore our health and prevent climate chaos!

Barr Mansion's Food Sources Tell Their Stories

We seek out the absolute best organic growers in America. These folks are leaders in the organic movement and pioneers leading our nation to a better paradigm.

Boggy Creek Farms

By shopping at the Farm, you will get a good idea of what is seasonally available in Central Texas. Since we, like many of our "Friends of the Farm," eat only what is available fresh from the field, we grow a wide variety of vegetables and greens, to ensure an interesting and balanced diet. Eating seasonally, while, at first glance seeming to be restrictive, in fact encourages trying new and unusual foods. And while we may eventually tire of eggplant (after all, it's steadfastly available June through October), by the next spring, we anticipate it eagerly. Waiting patiently and then eating our fill of the fruits of the moment is a very natural process and in tune with the environment. And over the year, we do eat a very varied diet.

Eel River

Eel River Organic Beef is located in the remote North West corner of California in the Eel River Valley surrounded by lush green sub-irrigated pastures and giant Redwood trees. Because of our mild climate with an average yearly temp of 54.5 degrees F and average rainfall of 38 inches per year, our grass fed beef graze on lush green pastures year 'round. Eel River Organic Beef is proud to boast that we raise the finest and healthiest beef available.

Samish Bay Cheese – Roger & Suzanne Wechsler in Bow, WA

Samish Bay Cheese Pic

We are farmstead cheesemakers, which means we make cheese on our farm, from the milk of our own herd. The milk is always fresh and we know we can count on its quality. We are also artisan cheeesmakers. This means our cheese receives the hands on detailed attention that only a quality-conscious, small-scale operator can provide. We make cheese year round, and you can taste the seasonal variations in the cheese.

Eco Fish

Angel Valley

Angel Valley Organic Farm is a certified organic vegetable farm in a beautiful valley at the edge of the Texas Hill Country I Jonestown, Texas. Our farm was certified organic by the Texas Department of Agriculture from the very start. In 2003, we became certified under the new USDA guidelines. We feel that our customers find the certification reassuring, and we feel that growing organically is of the utmost importance. We wouldn’t do it any other way. We take great pride in bringing our customers the freshest, cleanest food available.

Blackwing Meats

Blackwing Meats, Antioch, Ill., has rolled out a line of 100% organic Piedmontese beef, a cattle breed raised without added hormones or antibiotics. Piedmontese cattle originated 25,000 years ago in the foothills of the Italian Alps, where they grazed on a natural diet of fiber-rich grasses. "Their lean physique and heavier muscle structure--known as double muscle--produce a more tender, juicy and full-flavored beef that has less fat, calories and cholesterol than traditional beef," says Roger Gerber, Vice President.

Vital Farms
