When couple Brad and Jenny Stufflebeam put up Home Sweet Farm Market in 2013, they probably never realized that the market was just a starting point for even bigger things. The market was actually the brick-and-mortar result of the community-supported agriculture (CSA) program they started in 2004 with other farmers and neighbors. At first, the farmers market was simply a way to give back and feed Brenham’s own community instead of feeding other people in Houston through their CSA program.To make the market more attractive, they opened a Biergarten next door to provide a family friendly gathering place. The place quickly gained a following among friends and family. Initially, people came for the craft beer and live music. In time, their efforts grew and showcased a thriving Brenham nightlife. Today, Home Sweet Farm Market & Biergarten is a unique take on your usual farmers market.
