Winfield Farm
Small Scale Sustainable Farming
We left the corporate rat race in 2007 for a more sustainable lifestyle. Farming was not necessarily our goal, but after planting a 4600 square foot garden (Govinda tends to take things a bit far) we found ourselves with more produce than we knew what to do with. Hard to do for a bunch of vegetarians. But after the kids' claim it was going to be death by zucchini, we knew we had to do something. After all, just how many ways can one hide zucchini in a meal. This abundance prompted a search to “unload” the produce. We quickly outgrew our local farmer’s market and looked to Austin. We began selling at Austin’s Farmers’ Market the week before Thanksgiving 2008 and quickly sold out. Having found a market that can not only meet but beat our supply, we are expanding. We have now added another 5,000 square foot "garden" with plans for more.
