Tiny Produce Model

May 8th, 2013

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?  :)

Tater Tot the Pig and His Friends Visit Urban Acres

December 15th, 2012

Today, we were paid a visit by our farmer friends Steve and Kristine Orth of Eden Creek Farm in Blooming Grove, TX.  And they didn’t come alone – they brought their slew of fuzzy farm animals, like Tater Tot the pig!  We love it when our customers get to meet the farmers face to face.
