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.

Storage Tips
- Use as soon as possible. Refrigerate in a plastic bag for 3-4 days. Storing peas will cause them to lose some of their sweetness and crispness.
Culinary Tips
- Snap peas need stringing. Snap of the stem tip and pull downward to remove the string.
- Cook quickly, no more than 2 minutes. Add butter or serve plain.
- Add to stir fries or chilled marinated vinaigrette style salads.
