raising vegetables, flowers and beef in Lander’s backyard

Helping connect you to your food and each other.

Because good food is for sharing, we’re offering our go-to farm recipes to help you answer the perpetual question:

WTF is for dinner?

We take the ingredients seriously. Ourselves? Not so much.

Local

We’re the farm down the road! We’re deeply committed to growing food and flowers for our community. And we’re not afraid to ask for help when we need it.

Fresh

We take pride in offering the highest-quality produce, beef and flowers around using clean and sustainable practices.

Fun

We do our best to grow and share our food and flowers with a sense of humor and aim to bring joy to our customers and community.

This community deserves good food grown nearby.

And honestly? We know you’re doing your best to feed your family well—between swimming lessons, that one mitten that’s always missing, and the oatmeal your toddler abandoned on the counter. You care about where your food comes from, and you love the rhythm of cooking with whatever’s in season (even if sometimes that just means throwing cherry tomatoes at your kids and hoping for the best).

You deserve…

…food (and flowers!) with meaning. The kind grown by people you actually know—people you see at daycare pick up and the library and the brewery. Food raised with care, rooted in the Wind River valley, and handed to you by someone who can tell you exactly which row it grew in.

…a simple, consistent local food source. A way to easily know what’s in season. We’re at the farmers market every Saturday, June through October—kids running around, veggies piled high—and we keep Meadowlark Market stocked all week long. Need something more? Reach out.

…a deeper connection to land and community. Opportunities for your kids to pull a carrot straight from the ground, to gift a bouquet of colorful blooms, or for you to swing by the farm after work for a quiet minute in the fresh air. Moments that remind you—between laundry and lunches—that this is how food is supposed to feel.

That’s what the farm’s for — a way to feed your family well, make life just a little easier, and stay rooted in the community you love.

We’re the farm down the road!

Gah, wtf do I make for dinner?

We love cooking, don’t get us wrong. But there are days we are tired and didn’t plan well and have a hard time answering this question.

Luckily, over the years, we’ve developed a few easy recipes that use whatever veggies are at their peak.

Here are our tricks—add them to your dinner rotation for a simple way to eat your garden veg.

Hi, we’re Pat and Bailey.

We love eating good food and sharing it with family and friends. And, we couldn’t imagine leaving Wyoming—a place that has always had our hearts.

But shopping at the grocery store is a bummer—the produce is weeks old, the vibe is cold, and we hate watching our money disappear into a corporate void.

We wanted a deeper connection to our food and the people around us.

So, in 2019, we started Second Street Farm and quickly found that you all wanted the same thing—to eat real food from people you know. The kind of Saturday where you load up the kids, hit the farmers market, run into friends, and come home with tomatoes that taste like summer instead of cardboard.

We see you out there—juggling work, sneaking in a workout (go you!), trying to get something decent on the table that isn’t just butter noodles. We get it. And honestly, knowing you're building your week around picking up your veggie box or swinging by the farm with your littles? That's the whole point.

Sure, we might complain at the market about how tired or sore or behind we are. But the truth is, we love that raising good food is the rhythm of our lives.

And we love that you're part of it—whether you're grabbing a bunch of carrots your kids will actually eat, picking up flowers for a friend, or just stopping by because the farm—in its disheveled, weedy glory—is a magical place.

This is the good stuff. Thanks for being here.

What our customers say…

  • We bought our first half-beef bundle because we value knowing where our food comes from and that it's produced responsibly. The unmatched flavor, tenderness and overall quality are what keep bringing us back, though.

    - Matt and Karly C.

  • From casual bouquets to event and special occasion arrangements, I am always impressed by the quality, quantity and value of their flowers. They last for ages! Bailey is very easy to work with, and on one occasion she was able to produce a beautiful arrangement with very little notice, making a very sad day a little brighter for our family.

    - Jen W.

  • I'm hoping I can talk the farm into planting enough carrots that every week I can build myself a house out of them and nibble my way out only to replenish at market each week.

    - Anonymous carrot fan

  • One of Lander's summer joys is a Saturday morning at Market, especially if you arrive early and snag a spot in the line for Second Street Farm. It's easy to find them amidst the stalls—just listen for Pat's laughter and their girls' giggles. I have to stop myself from buying all of the crunchy, fragrant carrots and bursting Sungolds, and I can't leave without one of Bailey's stunning bouquets. If you want to capture the feeling of the season and the Lander community—and score some top-notch veggies—don't miss Second Street.
