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
- Ripe peppers spoil faster than green peppers.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week, unwashed.
Culinary Tips
- For greatest nutrient retention eat peppers raw.
- Add raw strips to salads and sandwiches, eat strips with your favorite dip.
- Roast peppers, place red pepper over hot coals or an open flame on your grill. Toast it, turning often, until the skin is evenly blackened. Place pepper in a brown bag for 10 min. to steam. Skin will peel off easily with a knife.
- Marinate and grill peppers.
