We are so thankful to have Lazy Dog Farm help us harvest happiness one Saturday at a time!
While living in Arlington, Bruce & Mary Scarberry purchased land that would become The Lazy Dog Farm, LLC. At that time, they had 3 dogs, Frost, Tundra and Otis who were very lazy, but on the farm, it was like the fountain of youth for them and they would run around the whole time. The Scarberrys have been fortunate to always have dogs calling the farm home.
In 2011, the land was originally a weekend get away. Bruce & Mary quickly realized that they wanted family life to be more intentional than their fast paced city life.
An on-farm harvest and butcher facility was added in 2025 because of a desire to maintain quality control of the products produced. This facility is in the final stages of USDA Grant of Inspection Services and will offer that same level of quality to other local producers.
Some of the most popular lazydogfarmsllc products are Beef and Pork Bacons, B+Oinker SmashBurger Balls and Pasture Raised Chicken.
Bruce explained, ‘We have been fortunate to make many friends over our years at MFM. It is always great to see them. Two of our dearest customers, Mary and Pat, have truly become like family supporting our growth throughout the years. They are honorary farm aunts to our two feral children. ‘
Bruce is also thankful that the Memphis Farmers Market is a safe environment. As a farm family, the Scarberrys children come to market with them. ‘Sophia and Wyatt have grown up at MFM and we never have concern for their safety or whereabouts while at market. Market vendors are supportive and kind to each other. We really love the vibe the market is putting out this year.’
The Scarberrys try to support as many vendors as we can. One of their most recent purchases was Lake’s Catfish for Mothers Day dinner. Sophia and Wyatt will stand firm that they have never had a popsicle, lemonade, cookes, snack, bread or food truck item that did not meet their strict standard of excellence.
Thank you Lazy Dog Farms!
