How cute is this? Here are some photos of little Sky Jisha, 3-years-old, daughter of our local farmer Kent Jisha at Texas Daily Harvest in Yantis, TX. She’s modeling the Jisha’s locally grown broccoli rabe and green leaf lettuce/red leaf lettuce that we’ll be including in this weekend’s co-op style produce shares. Let’s be honest though – all we want to know is, does Sky come with it? 
This Saturday, May 11th, we’ll be having an event at our NEW Highlands Farm Stand, Gecko Hardware (10233 E Northwest Hwy #409, Dallas, TX Map). Hang around between 8:30am-10:30am and enjoy a cooking demo by Urban Acres’ Founder, Steven Bailey. Taste some delicious tacos using UA ingredients and free coffee. Bring a friend!

This week, some of the UA team drove 833.5 miles for 51 hours and visited 9 farms all over Texas. Every single one of our farmers wanted to say THANK YOU to Urban Acres members for making this possible!
We’re taking farm trips right now because it’s planting time and we need to work with the farmers to get seeds in the ground for our spring and summer harvest. Once the harvest hits we try and stay out of their way.
Here are some photos…
