Fall is a notoriously stunning time at our farm, and we want to share the beauty of it with you, our community. We want you to see, spend quality time, and create memories on the land where your weekly veggies are cultivated. Come join the fun, you won’t regret it! This event is for our beloved CSA community and anyone else who’s had a hankering to experience the magic of the farm. We can’t think of a better place to relish the beautiful Texas fall than our expansive 200 acre farm. What a time to get lost at the farm, too, with fields galore laden with your favorite fall crops.

On Saturday October 28th from 4:30 - Sundown, Johnson's Backyard Garden will be hosting a Fall Open House at our Garfield, Texas farm located at 4008 River Road, 78612.

On this Saturday, we'll open up the farm at our favorite time of day - the late afternoon when the sun loosens her hold and the tractor engines have cooled down. We've got a plethora of activities lined up to show you the farm including: tours on our flatbed trailers (think hayrides minus the hay) JBG staff will be there informing attendees about what’s growing where and schooling people on farm history. Which by the way, did you know that it has been a longstanding tradition on the farm to get folks out to share the land with us? Not only will our amazing staff photographer be out documenting the day, but he will also be taking family portraits from around 5:30 to 6:30! Been stressing about that Christmas card photo? Fret no longer, you are sure to love Scott’s photos, he’s a pro. Worried you might miss out on exercise if you join us at the Open House? We will have walking trails galore among our crops accompanied with maps of what’s growing where so you can peruse your favorite crops and avoid those you aren’t so fond of. Our friends at Youga Yoga will be teaching a sunset yoga (with face painting!) class at around 5:30 as well. There will be a mini-market stand so you can snag some veggies straight from the farm (*csa members: if you want to pick up your csa box at the farm this day instead of your usual pickup location, email casey at farm@jbgorganic.com). We're hoping our flower crop cooperates so we can have a floral U-Pick. For the kids: there will be a vegetable-inspired arts and crafts activity, tractors to sit on, trampolines to bounce on, ample space to run around, and a ginormous sand pile to conquer.
