"It all started in 2004 when we began our small family farm just 7 miles south of Brenham, in Wesley, TX. In an effort to cultivate our local farm community, we began hosting seasonal events and monthly Market Days on our farm along with workshops to help motivate others who wanted to grow "righteous food." Now, a decade later, we are working with our local farming community to bring the best of the Brazos Valley to Downtown Brenham. We want to challenge what people call "local" by offering food within 50 miles from the farm to your plate."
Veggies fresh from the garden! |
The downtown market started as a two-day operation, but has since grown to being open 5 days a week. What began as a warehouse with a few tables of fresh veggies has rapidly become an expanding market of fresh produce, farm raised meats, artisan products like honey, bread, milk, cheese, jams, candles, chocolate and clothing, organic pastured farm eggs, fresh milk and cream and so much more!
Home Sweet Farm also hosts occasional classes designed to help you become a farmer and learn about the growing process and the importance of growing natural, GMO-free food.
Within the last few months they have partnered with The Citadel to bring the farm to the table with elegant family-style dinners prepared by well-known chefs combined with live music, candlelight and historic ambiance. The next "50 Miles to Harvest" dinner will be March 1. Chef Tai will be preparing a fresh & delicious feast from local ingredients.
GMO-Free seeds are available to start your own garden! |
Featured in Edible Austin, Home Sweet Farm brings fresh, local, organic food to Brenham, Washington County, Houston and beyond through the market, but also through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Farm lovers can sign up to receive a weekly share of HSF's produce and can either pick up their share at the farm or arrange for it to be delivered to a drop-site. More information
Artisan breads including gluten free options! |
