On our farm, we envision and actively engage in working to build a better world with abundant resources. We aim to share this vision with our local community through volunteering and educational opportunities. – hamiltonpoolvineyards.com
Black Bear Farm
Austin, TX
We’ve been “for real” farming now since 2016, and what started with 25 chickens has now grown into around 400 chickens (both egg layers and broiler birds)…plus 2 cows, 2 peacocks, a handful of turkeys, 4 pigs, 5 farm pups, about a million-ish bees, 3 cats, 1 amazing greenhouse, 3 kids and 2 wannabe (maybe bonified) farmers! When we’re not working on the farm, you can find us watching our oldest daughter Brooklyn play softball…or our middle son, Brax, swinging his baseball bat…or our little spitfire, Beckett, showing his skills off (or rolling in the dirt) on the soccer field! We live a full, busy life but it’s so much fun yall! We truly love everything that farming has brought into our lives. We love knowing where our food is coming from, and that it’s grown ETHICALLY with the animal in mind each step of the way. We love how much we have learned about ourselves, this process, and just life in general through farming. But most of all, we LOVE that it connects us with the community we live in. We are able to speak to folks about our products and carry on meaningful conversations about food quality, animal health, best practices on the farm, what we can learn, how we can grow, and how a small farm can bring a community closer together. – blackbearfarmandapiary.com
