History
We have transformed this 1.25 acre long-time vacant lot in Houston's 2nd ward into the only privately operated farm inside the 610 loop. We have approximately one (1) acre in production, over fifty (50) fruit trees, greenhouse, composting system, farm stand, and community event space. The farm has come together slowly and intentionally over several years. With a minimal startup budget, we have had to be creative about how we approach different problems which has forced us to find new and innovative ways to address issues and build the farm infrastructure from scratch. Using green waste including woodchips from local tree trimming companies, coffee grounds from local shops, and vegetable scraps, we have slowly built healthy, fertile soil from free resources utilizing a practice known as Limited Resource Farming.
Specialties
We're Houston's only privately-owned farm in the 610 loop. We offer a CSA - which stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It's a model that was established to help communities invest and connect with their local farmers in a real and direct way. We host school groups from all over Houston and students of all ages to learn more about where their food comes from. Our outdoor venue is a great space for dinners, fundraisers, wedding receptions, birthday parties, and endless special events.
