Description

2011 promises to be a great year for our farm as we have increased our on-farm tillable acreage as well as increased our greenhouse capacity. 90% of our crops are irrigated. One thing that you will find with our CSA program that is different from other local farms is that we have always been able to provide salad and/or baby arugula with every weekly delivery. (We never missed a week in 2009.) During the fall program of 2010 all members received micro greens weekly as well.

Shares are available for pick-up at ten different locations in the Houston area. Members will receive at least 5 to 8 different types of vegetables and herbs each week during the growing seasons. Our farm grows several varieties of vegetables and will strive to give members the best quality produce possible.

Wood Duck Farm rests on the southern boundary of the Sam Houston National Forest, which is about 48 miles due north of Houston. ( Approximately 40 mins. from the Woodlands and 30 mins. from Kingwood.) Our small family farm grows market ready produce fit for some of the finest "white tablecloth" restaurants in Houston, Austin and Dallas. Given the mild winters of southeast Texas, we are fortunate that we are always growing some variety of vegetable or herb. If you have visited the Urban Harvest Farmer's Market (aka Bayou City) in Houston on Saturday mornings, you may have already been exposed to some of our treats.

2011 will mark the beginning of our third second year hosting a CSA program.
