As the sun sets on another U-Pick season, we thank all of you “Friends of the Farm” who have supported us this year, and in past years as well. We couldn’t do it without you! This year, we welcomed Trosi Farms as a partner, and we can’t wait to see what’s next on their calendar! Trosi Farms still maintains their original farm in Elgin, TX, but they have expanded their operation to join us here in Waller, so we are sometimes able to offer pre-picked produce from Elgin in our market here on Binford Rd. They are well-prepared to enhance your agritourism experience with innovative sustainable and regenerative techniques to provide the utmost in quality fruits and vegetables. Trosi Farms has plans for POSSIBLE upcoming events, including Market-only days (selling pre-picked homegrown produce only, not U-Pick), “Dinners on the Farm,” and CSA Boxes (Consumer Supported Agriculture) which would entail weekly or bi-weekly subscriptions celebrating the seasons of the farm. These possible events are subject to supply, demand, weather, and whatever else Mother Nature throws our way, so keep watching for details on this website, Neal's Berry Farm & Farmer's Market Facebook Page, www.trosifarms.com, @nealsberryfarm, and @trosifarms. Our phone number has been discontinued, but you can still reach us by sending a message on https://www.nealsberryfarm.com/contact-and-links.html. The message will be answered by either Neal’s Berry Farm, or [email protected], depending on the question and which entity can provide the most knowledgeable answer. Thank you for your patronage!
