Specialties
Our weekly CSA delivers produce, beef, and eggs to your home or workplace throughout the greater Austin area. We're several neighboring families working together to grow natural, healthy, fresh, and tasty produce, meat, and eggs. We use organic methods, with no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides in our gardens, orchard, and pastures. Our vegetables are principally heirloom varieties and we never plant GMO seeds or crops at the farm.
Our cattle are a cross between heritage Devons and the famous South Poll breed known for excellence on grass pastures with no need for grain or supplements. With rotational grazing, the cattle stay healthy and well fed, while the pastures get regular periods of rest and regrowth. The cattle are never fed any grain, hormones, or antibiotics. The calves are born on our farm and live here their whole life. Cattle are processed at nearby state-inspected meat markets, ensuring the health and integrity of all the meat we sell.
We're continually expanding. Our most recent additions include heritage pasture-raised pork and a milk cow.
History
Established in 2010.
Established in 2010, we began with a small garden and a few hens. We started our cattle herd with three excellent heifers.
From 2011-2012 we planted a small orchard. blackberries, and grapes; began raising more laying hens, honeybees, dairy and meat goats, and rabbits - along with a family garden.
2013-2017 we started a much bigger garden so that we would have a surplus to share and sell through local farmers markets. The cattle herd continued to grow. We raised several flocks of heritage turkeys. We've raised several sets of pigs and have a milk cow.
In 2018 we had our first pigs born on the farm, our fruit trees had their first significant harvest. Our garden, beef cattle, and egg work continues.
