It's time to pull out your planners and start blocking off dates! The next few months are jam-packed with some exciting farm events for our community -- we're wondering when we're going to have time to work in the fields with all the fun happening!

August 21 - Creative Mornings @ in.gredients

Tomorrow morning, Brenton will be speaking at the Creative Mornings Austin event at in.gredients, East Austin's zero-waste grocery store. He'll go into the history of Johnson's Backyard Garden, as well as his personal life before JBG and some of the factors that led him to becoming a farmer. Don't miss out - photos of Brenton with the original VW bus will be resurfacing!

Tickets to the event are sold out, but you can join the waitlist by clicking here.

August 27 - Ceres Vegetable Society Pop-Up @ Ginny's Little Longhorn

Our friends at Ceres Vegetable Society are at it again - they've teamed up with the folks at Ginny's Little Longhorn, the original North Austin honkytonk, to bring you a summer pop up market next Thursday! Sign up for a mystery box and add ons ranging from locally raised rabbit, mustard & tarragon sausages to grow-at-home mushroom kits.

Pre-order your mystery box and delicious local and artisanal food products here.

August 29 - Farmer as Artist @ Prizer Gallery

Now in its third year, Farmer as Artist is an annual event hosted by the Prizer Gallery that showcases the creative side of the Texas agricultural community. This year is sure to be a good one, with pieces representing JBG, Boggy Creek Farm, Tecolote Farm, and many more!

The event is free and open to the public, the event page can be found here.

September 27 - Sunday Supper hosted by TRA

Come out to the Garfield farm to join JBG and the Texas Restaurant Association for a celebration of local farmers, chefs and the magic that happens when they come together! We have a group of top local chefs who will prepare samplings for folks to enjoy with craft beer and wine. Proceeds benefit the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas and the Texas Restaurant Association Education Foundation.

Tickets to the event can be purchased at the event page, and there are also a limited number of volunteer tickets available here.

October 24 - JBG Hoedown and Harvest Hustle

We had so much fun hosting a 5k fun run at the farm this spring, that we've decided to do it again! Save the date for the JBG's annual Fall Hoedown and Harvest Hustle on Saturday, October 24th. There will be great food and drink, live music, and a full day celebration of our awesome community at the JBG Garfield farm. Hope to see you there!
