Johnson's Backyard Garden is a 70-acre certified organic farm just five miles east of Downtown Austin owned by Brenton and Beth Johnson. We have a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program which serves 1000 families in Austin year-round with fresh, organic vegetables, herbs and flowers. Our members benefit from convenient neighborhood delivery locations and are invited to participate in U-pick days, farm tours, and other member events that take place throughout the year.

How It Works at JBG

Each week, JBG fills ½ bushel sized vegetable boxes, or "shares," with 8-12 different types of seasonal, organically grown vegetables, fruits and herbs. These items might include tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce, corn, peppers, zucchini, and much more! We harvest our veggies at their peak of freshness, ripeness, flavor, and nutrient density.

A share is typically enough for a family of 2-4, depending on cooking and eating habits. For example, a vegetarian couple may easily finish a share a week, while a family of 4 who eats veggies only as side dishes may also be satisfied with one weekly share. Members can also choose to pickup a share every other week, if it suits their needs. If you're out of town one week, no problem! We are flexible. Please call us 48 hours in advance, and we will be happy to reschedule your pickup date.

Vegetable boxes are $32 per box for a 4-week memberships ($128 total) and $30 per box for a 10-week memberships ($300 total). JBG drops off shares at 17 different locations around Austin.
