Celebrate Fall with a Local Farm

It's fall and it's raining and everything is green, which is a little odd, but I'll take it. What better way to celebrate than to head to a local farm!

This weekend, you have the opportunity to visit three local farms, meet the farmers and share some great food.

Johnson's Backyard Garden (9515 Hergotz Lane) is having their annual potluck on Saturday, 10/17 from 3 pm - dark. True to its name, this local farm started as a backyard garden and has transformed into a full-fledged farm. There will be farm tours, games, and music from Gringo Sol. They ask that you bring a dish to share, your own place setting, something to drink, and something to sit on. Please leave your canine friends at home. All people are welcome, so feel free to invite others.

Saturday night (10/17, 6-10 pm), Rain Lily Farm (914 Shady Lane) and Farm House Delivery are hosting a Cuban Pig Roast featuring a hog from Full Quiver Farms. Tickets are $35 and reservations are required. You can email info@farmhousedelivery.com or call 512-529-8569 to buy your ticket. I am so excited about this that I bought my ticket about 3 minutes after reading the e-mail. I love the grounds at Rain Lily Farm and have yet to have anything but delicious food when visiting there.

Finally, on Sunday (10/18, 5:30-8:30 pm), Montesino Ranch in Wimberly is hosting a "good weather" potluck. There will be a farm tour and usually some form of entertainment like local musicians or a movie. It is open to the public so please invite your friends and family.Bring a dish for 6 people and pack for a picnic. Call 512-847-7393 for more details.

I will be attending the Johnson's Backyard Garden & Farm House Delivery events on Saturday and I hope to see you there!
