Local Family Farms & Ranches near the Rockdale, Texas 76567 Area (22)

In 2008, Smith and Smiths Farm sprouted when Colby Smith, a 10-year job layoff survivor, turned entrepreneur. A united family effort, including parents, siblings, in-laws, and more, drove success through dedication, not just payroll. Today, our farm nurtures Dorper lambs, Broad Breasted White turkeys, Cornish Rock chickens, Red Wattle hogs, and various egg-laying hen breeds. All animals thrive on our farm and undergo rigorous state and USDA inspections. With our tight-knit family, we serve multiple farmers markets, including Downtown Market and Mueller Farmers Market. Discover farm-fresh goodness!

Meet Ben McConnell, the steward of Bouldin Food Forest, where organic and permaculture methods thrive. On his 150-acre land, Ben cultivates a variety of greens, herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Since founding the farm in 2015, it has been a pioneer of organic practices in central Texas. Currently offering lettuce, strawberries, eggplants, and more, our vision is to become the largest permaculture farm in Texas. We're planning to plant cherries, limes, figs, oranges, apples, pomegranates, nuts, and more in the coming years. Join our CSA program today and experience the beauty of sustainably-grown produce.
