Ellis Farms

Lincoln County, NC family farm running a 75+ year sorghum molasses tradition alongside pasture-raised Berkshire pork, ADGA-registered Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, and fresh eggs. USDA-inspected processing; sells at Gastonia and Belmont farmers markets. Operates part-time around full-time day jobs.

What they do

Ellis Farms in Lincolnton, [[asheville|North Carolina]] runs three product lines on one piece of family land: pasture-raised Berkshire pork and Berkshire crosses, ADGA-registered Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, and a [[sorghum|sorghum]] molasses operation pressed and cooked from cane grown on the farm — a tradition that “has been a family tradition for over 75 years.” Fresh eggs round out the lineup. The farm operates part-time around full-time work — customers are asked to call ahead. Pork is processed at Mays Meats, a USDA facility; goats are ADGA-registered; the operation is regularly inspected by N.C. Department of Agriculture. Sells at the Gastonia and Belmont farmers markets.

[[mission-district-sf|The mission]] is plainly stated: “Know your farmer, know your food.”

Why it’s listed

Multi-generation [[sorghum|sorghum]] cane plus a registered heritage-breed livestock layer — two specific substrate-builder filters on one operation. The honesty about part-time status and the named USDA processor strengthen rather than weaken the listing: this is a transparent [[small-farm|small farm]] doing real work.
