HOMEGROWN IN EAST AUSTIN
We started growing vegetables in our Holly Street backyard in 2004. Our goal is to provide the Austin community with the best quality locally grown, organic vegetables possible. You may enjoy our produce by joining our CSA or by visiting us at any of the farmers markets around Austin, at local organic grocers as well as most top restaurants.

Culinary Tips
- You might find a worm or two in your ears. Just cut out the damaged parts, the rest of the ear is still good.
- Steam corn in 1-2 inches of water for 6-10 minutes or drop ears into boiling water for 4-7 minutes.
- Roast unhusked corn ears in the oven or grill for about 20 minutes. Soak corn in water before grilling.
- Older corn can be cut off the ear and used in chowders, salads, baked dishes, etc.
- Mix corn kernels with red peppers and sweet onions. Toss with lemon juice, oil, and your favorite fresh herbs. Marinate for one hour before serving.
