We think that our staff is the best in the business (okay, okay, we are a little biased), but the JBG family hails from all over the place and runs the gamut in talents and interests. We love sharing events, adventures, and side projects that inspire and excite our JBG-ers (food-related or not) with the community. Check out the staff-curated list of favorites below!

We will miss you, CASEY!!! Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Since my days as a farm girl in Nebraska, Jenny Lewis has voiced the soundtrack to my life. As she grows in success and shines, I like to think so do I...or at least try my best to emulate her hair, style, voice, honesty, and self-assuredness.

DON'T MISS her tour as it rolls through Austin on 4/6... On the Line is a solid record (the first she has solo-written since Rabbit Fur Coat) and features bunches of my rock heroes (Beck and Ringo, anyone?). If you're lookin' for your next girl crush, come fall hard with me at the Moody Theatre on Saturday.

Jenny Lewis!

We've entered my favorite time of year, and I'm beyond excited for summer weather, summer produce, swimming, camping, and wearing shorts again! But until we get there I'm savoring these mosquito free evenings by grilling on the porch, getting the yard into shape, and eating all the crawfish. There are two crawfish events coming up that have me super jazzed. First, this Saturday, Hank's is boiling up 1,200 lbs. of crawfish to celebrate their 1st anniversary! There will be a bouncy house and cotton candy for the kids, live music, and it's rain or shine! Hank's is a neighborhood establishment for us, so catch me there in my rainboots, slurpin' on some mudbugs!



Then the weekend of April 26th, we'll be at the Llano Crawfish Open, which we've gone to nearly every year for over a decade. They boil over 18,000 lbs. of crawfish right on the banks of the Llano river. Cheap beer, two-stepping to live country bands, amazing vendors, and supporting the local special education program all make for a great Hill Country weekend.

The lovely Jenny Lewis will visit our city this Saturday 6th at the Moody Theater. She's on tour for her latest album, On The Line. Perfect for a date night or just to listen to this talented chanteuse live. There are still tickets available!

The Weird Homes Tour is happening again in Austin on April 20th. Check out the strange, funky or just plain unique homes in our lovely city.

BookPeople is hosting T. Kira Madden, an amazing queer biracial essayist, and photographer, for the release of her memoir Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls. The event will be at their store on April 9th at 7 PM.

Fans of Game of Thrones and the Songs of Ice and Fire books should check this pop-up art show in San Antonio's The Brick at Blue Star Arts Complex on 4/17! Hugo Award-winner John Picacio, whose designs were used for casting some of the TV series actors, will be there with works by Hamilton King Award-winner John Jude Palencar and many other amazing artists. Get pumped for the last season of GoT with this exhibit!

This song. It's been around for a while but I recently found it, and it has been playing in my head ever since.

I'm also enjoying listening to an audio copy of Wendell Berry's Jayber Crow. I am whisked away to a mid-20th-century small town community. I can't say I'm not nostalgic for this simpler time, one more connected to the earth.

Heydon (Farm Writer)

I just got back from a 30th b'day Mediterranean cruise that started in Rome, bopped down to Sicily and Malta, over to Spain and France, and then had two more stops in fair Italia. My pick this month is ITALY. I mean, whoa. The food, the people, the wine, the architecture... I can't get enough. I have a newfound respect for the versatility of artichokes, the nuttiness of pesto, all the different kinds of focaccia, and all the nuances of pasta. I'm OBSESSED. We delved into the subtleties of Grappa and I had my drink of choice, Prosecco, for the first time ever in its homeland! I could go on forever.

I brought my camera and had the best time getting lost in the narrow, gorgeous streets of all the amazing European towns. And oh my stars, THE SAGRADA FAMILIA in Barcelona! Stunner, for sure. Definitely ticked off one on the bucket list wandering around in that basilica.

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures. Check more out here.

Ada (CSA and Marketing Manager)

I recently celebrated my 30th birthday (woohoo!) and went to the Frio River with some of my dearest friends on this earth. I'm feeling excited and hopeful for this Spring season. My pick is the river, and all of the other bodies of water that I plan to inhabit now that it's warm!!

Ada's b'day peeps!

Shameless plug for my side-hustle Home Made! This is a super cool and super fun meal prep club. Check out our website here, and read more about the project here.

Last, I would just like to give a shout out to our wonderful CSA Administrator Casey. She's been with the farm for several years now but is leaving the farm to start new adventures (a family!). We're excited to welcome our new CSA Admin, Faith, to the crew. CSA Members: please help us welcome Faith to the CSA Family!

We love you, Casey!
