Even though we had chilly weather and a little rain, it didn't stop us one bit. We ended up picking close to seven pounds of fresh strawberries and they were so tasty and juicy. The whole experience of walking row by row and picking the perfect berry was so much fun. There's even a helpful little sign explaining how to pick the strawberries properly so they last longer. *Pro tip, leave a bit of the stem on the strawberry as you pick them, they stay fresh longer. We learned that after the fact, but we'll definitely do it right next time. The farm is huge, around 152 acres of expansive land, which was very green, open, and peaceful. It wasn't crowded at all the day we went, which made it even more enjoyable. The kids had a blast. They have a cute little train ride, a fun bouncing area, and plenty of space for the kiddies to run around. The goats were a big highlight for us. You can buy feed for 25 cents a tiny cup, and we went through four pretty quickly - you might want to grab more upfront because they close at 5 and we didn't get a chance to go back for more goat feed. The setup around the goat area was really nice and whimsical, and there's just so much open space to explore and walk and get fresh air. They also have a small gift shop with ice cream and little goodies, which was a nice touch after being out in the fields. Overall, it was such a peaceful, fun, and memorable day. Beautiful views, great atmosphere, and a perfect mix of activities for both kids and adults. We'll absolutely be back. Easily a five star experience.

They have a season for strawberries and blackberries. I believe all kinds of flowers which I never picked... i love everything edible... I am always there for the berries, the peaches which sadly this year they will not have any due to the freeze. And all of the fresh vegetables that you can buy inside the store. Those past 2 months you can find wild purslane growing and the owner was really really nice to let me pick as much as I want! I made pies with them. Absolutely delicious! I will keep on going back to this farm and I recommend it to anybody who likes to be out in the nature and it is perfect for families and specially kids!

We had so much fun walking the rows of flowers, taking pictures and choosing our favorites to create a gorgeous bouquet to take home. I can't wait to go back and pick berries the next time we visit.

But places like this are a welcome addition for the healthy crowd to take advantage of. Its a hydroponic farm, possibly the first and only one, and yes they give tours. They also have deliveries of produce baskets which you can sign up for (check their website). I've tried some of their produce and can attest to its quality. Since they supply some local restaurants, and are at the farmers market in Bryan, you've probably tried their produce to. If not, give them a try. Eat healthy! Friendly staff.

Through our basket delivery service, you can order a variety of local produce, meats, baked goods, jams, salsas and more with no commitment. It is our goal to integrate and immerse ourselves in the community by providing highly local foods directly to our customers, while simultaneously promoting and educating the public on sustainable environmental agricultural practices. Dedicated first and foremost to our customers, everything we provide is grown using the best organic practices available. Items that we do not grow or produce ourselves are sourced ONLY from local farmers, ranchers, and bakers. With our current food system being the massive "supply-web" that it is, most people have no clue as to where their food comes from, how old it is, or the methods in which it was produced. We want to bridge that gap and put power back in the hands of local farmers, ranchers and most importantly, you, the end consumer. Through education and forming a personal relationship with the local farmers, we can all help Bryan/College Station become a healthier, more sustainable community to live in. We care about our food, where it comes from, and how it is made!
