JBG FARMSTAND
04/05/21 — Ada Broussard
The JBG Farmstand is open every Saturday from 9am - 1pm
JBG Garfield Farm
4008 River Road, Garfield, 78612
Here are some reasons the Farmstand is worth checking out:
- You can get seasonal vegetables directly from the farm where they are grown. It really doesn't get much fresher than this!
- We will have a CSA Pickup there! Any CSA Member who picks up at the Saturday farmstand can choose 2 free veggies from the market booth! CSA Members: Don’t forget that you can always change your pickup just for one-time by emailing the office (farm@jbgorganic.com).
- Flowers! We just seeded thousands of flowers, and soon the entry road to the farm will be brimming with blooms, and as long as there are flowers to pick, we will be offering a pick-your-own bouquet option at the Farmstand. (CSA Members, we’re going to let you pick a bouquet for free!!)
- We also have a large number of herbs that are growing just next to where the Farmstand will be set up. While we will have some pre-harvested herbs for sale at the market booth, you can also pick your own!
- Sometime when June turns to July, it will officially be tomato time at JBG, and we plan to rope off a section of our tomatoes and then turn people loose. Our usual U-Pick (LINK) will be an extension of the Saturday Farmstand, and you and your family can pick your own box of homegrown, fresh off the vine, tomatoes. There’s no better tomato. Our Tomato U-Pick is a beloved event for so many families, and we can’t wait for ‘mater season. Soon!
We hope that these pick-your-own opportunities will help you enjoy a truly unique and authentic farm experience. Though we ask that you leave your pets at home, we encourage you to bring all the kids and friends. Our farm is 184 acres, and when you visit the Saturday JBG Farmstand, we really hope you feel at home and enjoy the whole property. If you’re a runner, you can come run around the acres of vegetables. Wagons are a great way for very small kids to experience the whole farm, and for the ones in-between, you can just let them loose down the dirt farm roads. We can’t guarantee that they won’t leave sweaty, dirty, and happy. There’s a giant sand pile that we’ll be sure to keep weeded, too!
Like most things at the farm, the plans for this Farmstand are organic and evolving, but we know it’s going to be great! The JBG offerings are just the beginning, and we hope to eventually collaborate with other producers for artisan cheeses and pastured meats. We look forward to sharing our farm with you, our wonderful community. See you there!
