The owners grow several types of squash and zucchini, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, peppers, green beans, black-eyed peas, cucumbers, cantaloupe, and watermelons. They also grow microgreens and also have farm-fresh and cage-free eggs. Also, for weed control, they use plasticulture, hands, hoe when the plants get too high for the tractor and sweeps. Neem oil and Spinosad are also the pesticide of choice and are both organic certified. They are sometimes selling at the Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market. "Really beautiful produce" is all you can say.

Alcove Farms sells pasture-raised eggs and pasture-raised poultry. They offer "great eggs". You will "love that they’re a local business". They are located in north Lubbock, Texas on a 160-acre farm between Alcove & 4th Street. They are the first farm to adopt the method of a regenerative farming technique called mob grazing. “Cows, God’s natural mowers, go first and eat the grass. Following behind are the chickens, God’s natural tillers that forage on the ground and till the land as they scratch. You follow behind the chickens with water and sunlight, and this process creates the richest soil over time. Then, you do it all over again until you have restored the land from dry and dusty, to fertile.”
