Welcome to Boggy Creek Farm!
Take a step back in time, walk the grounds, see the crops, smell the flowers! The historic farmhouse hosted President Sam Houston at a wedding supper here in 1841! Say hello to our 100 hens who lay the best eggs and help to nourish the soil!
***Market Schedule:***
Dear Friends,

|You will be the first to know when the online farmstand is up and running. Until then, stay tuned and know that we are working as hard and fast as we are able.
Thank you for understanding. Stay well.

What We’re Harvesting
Most of the produce at our farm stand is harvested within 24 hours of market day in East Austin or our Milam County farm 75 miles northeast of Austin. What we’re growing and selling changes with the seasons, so check out our seasonal report. We also sell (at the farm only) Larry’s Smoke-Dried Tomatoes, a farm favorite. (Roma tomatoes from our Milam County farm dry in our home-built smokehouse for 3-5 days, flavored with smoke from post oak growing on our farm. A richly smoky, versatile, and surprising bacon flavor emerges.
We are happy to supplement our harvest with goods from other local farmers. We sell dairy products from Dos Lunas and Bee Tree (cheeses), longhorn beef from Dear Run Land & Cattle, lamb from IO Ranch, pork sausage/pork chops from Taylor Farm, Bison from Thunderheart, Bison w/ organ meat (Ancestral Blend) from Roam Ranch by Force of Nature, Chicken from Pure Roots Farm & dessert from Miles of Chocolate, eggs from Coyote Creek, and Texas Rainwater from Smithville, TX.
Checks, cash, & cards accepted! There is a 3% convenience fee added to all credit or debit card transactions.
*Please no dogs and no smoking for the safety of our plants, children, and animals.
