Central Texas Farmers Co-op

We are a business owned and controlled cooperatively by small, sustainable farmers in Hays, Caldwell, Blanco, and Travis County.

We are a farmer-owned and operated co-op providing Central Texans with the highest quality local food through our ‘Community Supported Agriculture’ (or CSA) program. Our mission is to improve the lives of local, small, and beginning farmers who produce food in an environmentally responsible way while also providing safe, delicious, and nutrient dense food to our community.

Located at the Freeman Ranch in San Marcos, Bobcat Farm is Texas State University’s student
farm. Re-established in 2022, the farm is a 1.5 acre fruit and vegetable learning lab. Our farm is
focused on teaching students ecologically mindful horticulture and soil health by giving them a
place for hands-on application and mentorship in small-farm practices. Along with managing
annual and perennial crops, our staff and students work hand-in-hand with soil health
researchers on projects studying the effectiveness of biological soil amendments and cover crop practices.

Hey East Austin! Sour Duck Market has been supporting Austin area farmers for years, hosting meetups and csa pickup spots, as well as purchasing regularly from local producers to create their seasonal menu.

We’re thrilled to team up with them this season as a CTFC CSA pickup site!

————

The food and drink at Sour Duck Market are inspired by local farmers and purveyors. Meats are smoked daily in a 1,000-gallon pit smoker, the flour for baked goods is milled locally and cocktails are made with the freshest juice and product. We believe in showing true craftsmanship in cooking by serving good, local food, made the way nature intended—from scratch.

Brown Farmer LLC is our way of reconnecting ourselves and people with culture, community, and foods that were grown and eaten throughout the African diaspora. Located east of Austin, we grow fresh seasonal vegetables, herbs, microgreens, and culturally significant crops like Lagos spinach, callaloo, molokhia,okra, southern peas, and watermelon.
We believe farming is about remembering where we come from while building something meaningful for the next generation. We want people to know their farmer, understand where their food comes from, and experience foods that feel nourishing to the soul.

Hey South Austin! Central Texas Farmers Co-op is thrilled to be partnering with Casa De Luz as a pickup site this Fall at their South Austin location. Sign up at our link in bio and pick up your veggies at this classic Austin health hub!

We value partnering with pickup sites who share our values of promoting health and well-being through fresh, organically produced ingredients. It’s hard to imagine a better fit than Casa De Luz.

—————————

Industrialized food has pulled many of us away from the essence of nourishment. Casa de Luz exists to bring us back—to real food, to community, and to ourselves. More than a place to eat, it is a living practice of whole plants, shared meals, and a culture of well-being that goes far beyond the conventional restaurant experience.

We serve whole plant cuisine with reverence for its natural state, protecting the integrity and vitality of each ingredient. We do not use processed oils or artificial additives. Instead, we build flavor and nourishment from freshly ground seeds and nuts—simple sauces and dressings that honor the wholeness of the plants. Each plate is a quiet reminder of the earth’s generosity, shaped by soil, sun, and the hands that grew our food.

Better Days Gardens is a husband & wife owned and operated, human scale, ecological market garden focusing on soil health. What started as a backyard hobby garden grew into a tiny urban farm and has now expanded to our current location on 13 acres of land in Lockhart, TX. We implement cover crops and crop rotation on about 1 acre and practice “no-till” farming where we try to disturb the soil as little as possible.

Raised in Austin, we are first generation farmers and started our farm 5 years ago. We both come from service industry jobs and after we both dove into farming full-time, there’s nothing else in the world we can see ourselves doing. Farming is a public service, and as such we feel privileged to be able to serve our community and only wish we could produce more.

We sell our produce direct to consumer through farmers markets and our CSA, thereby ensuring that our veggies are as fresh as can be by the time they reach our community.
We hope to begin incorporating animals into the landscape and potentially offering pasture raised proteins in the not-so-distant future.
