🌻🌾 Something New Is Coming to Fyler Farms! 🥜🫘

We’re excited to share another step forward for Fyler Farms!

We’ve recently invested in new roasting and oil-pressing equipment that will allow us to begin producing our own fresh, locally sourced pressed oils right here at the farm.

Our goal is to begin rolling out our first oils in time for the holiday season, with possibilities including:

🫘 Soybean Oil
🌻 Sunflower Oil
🥜 Peanut & other Nut Oils
…and hopefully more as we work with local growers and see what’s available!

Just like with our flours and grain products, we want to keep the ingredients as local and close to the farm as possible.

🌱 LOCAL GROWERS — WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

We are currently looking for locally grown soybeans, sunflowers, peanuts, and other oil-producing nuts or seeds that have been grown without synthetic chemical applications.

If you’re a farmer or grower in Missouri or the surrounding area and have a crop available—or are considering growing one—we would love to connect with you.

We’re especially interested in building long-term relationships with small and local farms that share our commitment to responsible and regenerative growing practices.

Our vision has always been bigger than simply making products at Fyler Farms. We want to help create a stronger local food system where local farms support local farms and customers know more about exactly where their food comes from.

🌾 Locally grown. Locally processed. From our farms to your table.

Stay tuned—we’re hoping to have the first bottles coming off the press by the 2026 holiday season! 🎄

Know a local farmer who might have what we’re looking for? Tag them or share this post!

🌱 Local Food Thursday! 🍜
Tonight’s dinner was a delicious bowl of homemade ramen packed with ingredients straight from our own garden! 🌿
We started with yard-long beans, garlic, sweet red onions, red shiso, watermelon leaves, and lion’s mane mushrooms—all harvested right here at the farm. There is something so satisfying about walking into the garden, gathering what is growing, and turning it into a nourishing meal the same day!
For the broth, we used our Williams Health Tonic — “The Recipe.” This is one of our favorite ferments, made with 7 types of hot peppers, horseradish, ginger, garlic, turmeric, and onions, all held together with apple cider vinegar. It adds a wonderful combination of heat, tang, and depth to the ramen while bringing together so many flavorful, traditional ingredients.
We served a delicious Canary melon on the side for a refreshing touch of sweetness. 🍈 This melon came from Hall Farms in Richmond, Missouri, another reminder that local food doesn't always have to come from our own garden. We love connecting with other local farmers and enjoying what they grow too!
This is what local food looks like to us—growing, preserving, fermenting, sharing, and supporting other farmers whenever we can. ❤️🌱
From our garden, our kitchen, and our local farming community to your table!
