Buy A Single Week Full Share: This week should include Sugar Snaps, Brussel's Sprouts, Broccoli, Lettuce, Strawberries & More. This is great for those of you interested in our CSA, but quite convinced to join for the remaining seven weeks.  

Dustin's Eggs: Farmers' Market regulars know that Dustin's free-range eggs arrive super-fresh. Get your own dozen of local, pastured, drug-free, sustainably-raised eggs here. Limited quantities, so order early.

Reed Family Farms: Many of you know Wendy as the "Honey Lady" down at the Saturday Urban Harvest Farmer's Market. Wendy, her husband Kenny, and their bees produce 100% pure, local honey from the rural areas and sustainable farms of Harris, Montgomery and Waller counties.

Greens Creek Gruyere: Houston Dairymaids brings us this sustainable semi-firm cheese from Dublin, Texas. A Texas take on the Alpine classic, this cheese from rich raw cow's milk offers a smooth texture with a natural rind, aged on Stuart Veldhuizen's on-farm cave for up to nine months. At last year's HLS&R Best Bites Competition, Veldhuizen's cheese won First Place for the Two-Stepping Bread/Cheese/Dessert Award.

Smoked Pulled Pork: This southern specialty begins with our "happy pigs" being raised here on the farm between pasture and woods, depending on the season, and then processed in a USDA-inspected processing facility. We primarily use the shoulders for this cut and rub them down with seasonings, where they then head to the pit and are smoked with red oak coals for about 16 hours.   

Tortilla Soup: Our customers at the Farmer's Market cry for more of this Tex-Mex Classic. We start with "made from scratch" chicken stock, add onions, our homegrown garlic & cilantro, jalapeņo peppers, tomatoes, organic black beans, and then allow for a slow simmer. Corn tortillas are added to the kettle along with locally-raised Texas chicken smoked here at the farm, and all the flavors come together. Comes with fried tortilla strips in a separate bag to provide a lil' crunch.
