We grow seasonal vegetable staples (asparagus, beets, squash, sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, onions…), herbs and flowers for sale at our farmstand located on the property. We also operate a herd-share raw milk dairy comprised of A2/A2 Jersey cows; we currently have over forty members who receive a share of the milk as well as feta cheese, ricotta and Greek yogurt. We also have a chicken yard and supply eggs at the farm-stand. We have a nursery license and raise and sell plants in season. Farm includes a large high tunnel and a heated greenhouse.

Mark and Christine were fabulous hosts and taught me so much about farming. They put a lot of heart and sweat into their work which is very meaningful to the whole community. The place is beautiful, multi-faceted, and each animal has such distinct personalities. Very comfortable to stay at as well. It was an honor to be able to document their practices.

Mark's ranch is heaven on earth. He and Christine are both wonderful people, and great company. Mark is kind and loving to his animals, strict in his organic practices, and generous to his employees and volunteers. His yoke is very light, and he is extremely accommodating. I had a great experience working for him and I hope that he will invite me back for more, which is really the best review-- return customers. There are 7 cows, a platoon of chickens, horses, fruit trees, a green house and several acres of farm to keep you busy while on the ranch. It is also close to the Sabinal, Frio and Nueces rivers to explore the Texas swimming holes, and close to Bandera to go dancing if you need a little of the city to spice up life in the country side. This is a fantastic HQ for your adventure.

This is THE address for anybody who longs to contribute their full attention and dedication to a wonderful consciously and warm heartedly run farm. There are many different tasks to do and opportunities to learn, and Mark and his farm manager are patient and loving teachers. You are welcomed like a family member. Thank you, Mark, for helping me grow. 🌻
