We are a 3rd generation family farm located in Deep South Texas. We farm over 3000 acres of vegetables and row crops every year. Farming has been in our family for many generations.
Our grandfather left his home country of Austria when he was a young teenager. He settled in the Rio Grande Valley and called it his home until he passed in 1977. His children and grandchildren have been running the farm since. We are currently farming over 2400 acres of vegetables every year with another 600-700 acres of row crops (Cotton, Corn, Sugarcane, and Grain). We grow over 30 different ty

Harvested this grain field in August and shredded it down on September 1. Caught a timely rain and left it. 50 days later this is what it looks like. Not too bad! Going to get a 2nd harvest from it.

This is a Sugarcane field that was transplanted about 2 months ago! Growing like crazy.
Okra is coming up! Looking nice. We have had some great growing weather lately. Should be ready at the beginning of August.
We have been harvesting some beautiful organic vegetables over the last couple of days. These are going into our local community!
We were out checking our organic ground that we have planted with some peppers, Okra, and tomatoes.. The plants are growing great. Hopefully in the fall our partnership with PSJA will continue stronger than ever. Keep a lookout as we will be harvesting some product in the upcoming weeks and offering them to the public at a great price!

Enjoyed having PSJA North out today to learn about our organic fertilizer application process. Great things are happening with this partnership!
Chemistry and mathematical application lessons were reinforced today at the Cooperative Education Program Farm. District agriculture students observed the steps involved in incorporating organic NPK into the soil and also discussed equipment operation as it applys to fertilizer application rates.
We had a blast spending time with the students from PSJA North High School. They came out today to harvest vegetables for the Vegetable Show this evening and tomorrow. They learned about different crops like Napa, Bok Choy, Dill, Radishes, and more. Look forward to working with PSJA ISD more!
This post is dedicated to everyone from PSJA that ever participated in the All Valley Winter Vegetable Show. Today, district Agriculture Food and Natural Resources (AFNR) students were busy selecting and harvesting vegetables that they will exhibit this evening. Today's field lessons included Plant Identification, Comparitive External Plant Anatomy and Plant Physiology. A big thank you goes out to El Sabino Family Farms for allowing our students into their fields to harvest vegetables for the show.
Sugarcane is growing really fast! This was planted just over 1 month ago.
Getting sugarcane cut to plant. Only 106° today!!
Cotton harvest will begin in 2 days! We are also out cutting sugarcane to plant more. Our vegetables are coming up nicely as well. We are definitely looking forward to the “cooler” South Texas weather soon. These 105-110 days are not doing us any favors. 🥵
Spent some time on the farm yesterday with the family. We checked out our cover crop for Organics, our cotton that is being defoliated, and our haygrazer that we will use as a windbreak to protect our more fragile vegetables like beets, mustards, swisschard and more. It’s always fun having the family make the rounds with me. That’s what the family farm operation is all about.
We are defoliating cotton! 10-12 days and 2019 harvest season will begin.
Ground preparation for 2019-2020 vegetable season!
Cotton is looking great in South Texas!
Cotton 2019 is looking great. Thigh high and thick! We have been blessed with some fantastic weather. We are praying for all those in the South/ Southeast that have been affected by the rainfall.
Our Cotton is up and looking great!
We're very happy to announce that our packer/shipper Val Verde has been selected as a supplier of the year for Whole Foods Market! Way to go Val Verde and thank you Whole Foods Market!!!
Local, regional and national suppliers honored for outstanding quality, environmental stewardship, organic integrity, innovation and partnership
Trying some new specialty produce! Love these “Watermelon” radishes.

Here are some pictures for the new season. We have some corn, squash, and sugarcane! Things are going great and the weather has perfect so far!
Planting some sugarcane this morning!
Cotton season will finish today!!! We had our ups and downs this cotton season but it could have been worse. We missed the heavy rains during the summer months, while others weren’t as lucky. We had some record high yields in fields with some new varieties and are excited to expand on those for next year. It can start to rain tomorrow. Our vegetables need it!
Cotton harvest is 75% done! This little Guy loved every minute of the field tour. Future farmer in the making.
Well written article from the The Wall Street Journal showing the direction modern farming is headed.
Running expanded, consolidated operations, farmers are pushing grain giants such as Cargill and ADM for better prices. They’re also striking their own deals to directly supply manufacturers. That’s fundamentally changing the industry’s balance of power.
Planted some Fall Corn this season. With all the vegetables we plant, we needed to add a little more rotation ground. This will benefit us in the future by adding more organic matter to the soil!
Cotton harvest is going strong! Our little farmer ❤️ the Pink wrap around the cotton!
Part of our values as a company reflect the fact that we're family owned for three generations now. That being said, it's hard for family farms these days to bear all these new regulations and laws coming our way. Good article here getting some data on that aspect.
When it comes to bearing the cost of produce safety rules, the bigger the farm, the better.
Cotton 2018! Everything is looking good. Weather is perfect for our cotton crop.
