Whitt’s End Cattle Depot & Farm Stand

Homemade canned goods, including jams, jellies, salsas, hot sauces, pasta, and pickled items (e.g., spicy asparagus, bread & butter pickles, and eggs); locally produced honey; homemade vanilla extract; in-season fresh produce; homemade baked goods, including traditional and sourdough breads, cheesecake bites, cupcakes, and fruit pies; farm-fresh eggs; dairy products, including A2/A2 raw cow’s milk and homemade ice cream; locally produced meats, including grass-fed beef (bundles, quarters, halves, and wholes), pork, lamb, and whole chickens; beef fat and beef suet (suet is popular among hunters to add to big-game hamburger); dog bones; homemade natural soaps; and other products.

Weekly and biweekly farm boxes are also available, featuring breads, eggs, milk, meat, and an extra such as jam, honey, salsa, and ice cream. The farm also has a fall festival & pumpkin patch, and special events such as mutton bustin’, horseback riding lessons, goat roping, team roping, arena riding, and dairy milking (see the website for details).

The farm stand, which opened in 2021, is state inspected. Most of the foods fall under the Wyoming Food Freedom Act, whereas the meats are USDA-inspected. Lene Whitt, who co-owns the small business with her husband, Augustus Whitt, says they have a faithful following of customers from southeast Wyoming and northeast Colorado. “A lot of our customers from Colorado come here for the raw milk, and they buy a variety of other products.”

Because of an increasing number of customers, they are constructing an addition to the farm stand, with an anticipated opening of summer 2024. The store is open year-round, Thursday through Monday (check the FAQ link on the website for times).
