Howdy, we are Karl & Nancy Falster, and we’re overjoyed to help people build better lives by learning how to, or buying our food fit to eat. Through our small non-profit (Warriors That Farm) we teach others to do the same. We’re fortunate to have spent years digging (researching) and growing nutrient dense food (meat, fruits and veggies) for our growing family of clean food subscribers, and can’t wait to meet you!
We live on our family farm in East Texas on Pasture 365 days a year, never far from a great lake to fish and sail in, a slow grow vegetable garden and gorgeous herds of beef and dairy cattle. We love every minute we spend with each other and our working dogs: Willie the herd dog, and Stuart the night watch, and a new rescue pup Dust Bin, well that’s what he said his name is.
We use a unique, multifaceted approach to ensure that our customers are put first, no matter what. When we opened 26+ years ago, we believed in providing quality customer service to meet our and your family’s needs, and we still do today. We’re your farmer yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Recent Intern Comments/Testimonials
How important it is to work together, how motivating it is to work on a project as a team and not just on your own. Suddenly, you are able to do things you never imagined you could do. It also became clear how everyone profited so much from each other’s knowledge, experience and point of view. Falster’s sharing their knowledge with us, encouraging us to put to use our individual skills. I learned so much talking to the many people that came to visit or that we visited.
It really made me think how much potential there is if you only reach out to other people, share your knowledge, listen to what they might have to contribute. We humans truly are team players 🙂
-also, I realized how important it is to really discover your passion. Watching Karl and you working so freely and being so very passionate about it, really loving what you do and having your very own “mission”, that was very inspiring.
-Respecting nature and the environment,
-really committing to your work, feeling responsible, giving a 100%,
-Community! Opportunity! Good Food!

My experience at Falster Farm was very educational. Around every corner, every task that was assigned, there was the gift of new knowledge. Whether it concerned tractors, cattle, chickens, pigs, beekeeping, or sauerkraut there was always something new to glean and two very patient teachers(i.e. Karl and/or Nancy) to help me grasp the concept(s). But to my surprise, farming knowledge was not the banner that my mind hung over the archway of this experience.
The concept that your life, your day, your farm, your plans, and you need to be fluid-this is what I carry with me from Falster Farm. The idea that plans are essential to guide, but to truly be productive, keep the farm going and to keep your family going you must be willing to change your plans. The ability to adapt to the situation is essential. Doing whatever task you are able, wherever you see the need, however you are able to accomplish that task. The Falsters taught that this is truly at the heart of making your dreams and passions a reality.

After being on your farm, I discovered that what I definitely want is having my own farm with chickens. I miss the taste of your wonderful fresh eggs. I try to buy the eggs here in Zurich from a farmer at my village and not at the grocery store. I also want to try making the sauerkraut again. In general I try to buy more food from the local farmers.
I have actually wanted to own my own farm since I was a little girl and I still can see my future like that.
I hope I get the chance one day to visit you again. Or if you two ever gonna come to Switzerland let me know!
Thanks again for everything!

It was a great experience being an intern woofer on your farm. The experience of building the Hay Bunker with Bo, learning to wield, has made me to reflect a lot about future sustainable projects that I want to implement in my country (West Africa) as soon as I graduate from here at Earth College in Costa Rica.

I had never been to Texas before and I had never actively lived on a farm before my stay at the Falster’s. As a double stranger to that world (being French and a city person) I saw, smelled, tasted and learned many different things I’ won’t forget and that for sure makes who I am today. I know now that farming is working but it is not « a work », it’s a choice you do, a way you engage yourself in life. It is a way of life made of work, respect, sunshine and good food (and lots more). Something I’ll keep with me from the Falster’s is: stick to your plans, be flexible, trust yourself and adapt it to your way (needs). Life is a fight you win when you do something you believe in.

I would say that staying on your farm gave me a profound appreciation for the true value of even a few hours of good solid work. After being on your farm, all other work has seemed much easier, and goals appear closer within reach. Let me know if you need anything else.

During my time at Falster Farm, I was amazed at the breadth of working knowledge and subject matter expertise that Karl and Nancy proactively shared with us regarding bio-dynamic farming, animal husbandry, and living a self-sufficient lifestyle. The knowledge that they imparted to me, serves to further bolster my determination to start a small farm of my own that would use the same environmentally friendly farming practices adopted by Karl and Nancy. They opened there home, their hearts, and their minds in a way that is so very rare in today’s society. As a result, the volunteers are offered a one-of-a-kind education that could never be matched at a university.”

It’s difficult to point out specific things during my stay, as so much was new to me, America, Texas, the South etc. But, learning to work with the cows was great, just managing them as a natural lot of cattle, ranging around in nature and on no grain. Of course my learning to ride (experiences) with your cow Pony “Folger” were also something I cherish. Otherwise, just everyday life . . . oh, my project – building the Earth Oven, working with you guys (sorry the Yankee expression) was rewarding.
