Red delicious apples from Austin Family Farm
…is what one of our team members said upon tasting the freshly-picked organic apples we just received from Austin Family Farm in Paonia, CO. The apples were literally picked a few days ago and driven from the farm to our door by the farmer Glenn Austin himself.
These special apples are for members only and will be appearing in the co-op style produce shares over the next few weeks. This weekend is Red Delicious. There’s no one else in the state of Texas who has these apples right now!
Here’s a video of the farmer, Glenn Austin, unloading the apples at our warehouse:
And did you know you can split an apple in half with your bare hands? Or so they say. Guess we’re gonna need to keep practicing – farmers are strong!
We’re once again offering 100% pastured Broad Breasted White Turkeys from our friends Jim & Kay Richardson at Richardson Farms in Rockdale, TX. The turkeys will be fresh-frozen, meaning they will be butchered at the farm and immediately frozen.
Who wants another Butterball caged turkey when you can have a bird that’s been raised humanely and locally? Turkeys are available to both members and non-members. Order now, because we’ve only ordered 150 turkeys, and they’ll go quickly!
In order to reserve a turkey, a $30 deposit is required. The remainder will be calculated when we receive them from the farmer. Turkeys will be ready for pickup on Saturday, November 17th at your Urban Acres pickup location.

Non-members: Call 214-466-1260 and ask for Amber to place your turkey order.

Pastured turkeys at Richardson Farms
Our team personally toured the family farm where one thousand 100% pastured turkeys roam happily. We’ll be offering 150 of these turkeys to you for Thanksgiving this year. The Richardson family has been involved in farming for several generations. They are conservation minded in their farming efforts and care deeply about the health and well-being of their animals. All of their livestock are in large open areas/pastures and are free to interact with each other. We love that.
We have some very exciting news for our Urban Acres members today!
Effective Monday, September 10th, we will begin using Farmigo to manage all of our members’ produce share accounts. Farmigo is an amazing online tool built specifically to connect people like you with fresh food directly from companies like Urban Acres and local farms. All members who are actively receiving produce will get an email next week with their Farmigo account information.
Here are a few of the benefits members will experience when using Farmigo:
1. Manage your online Urban Acres produce account profile. You’ll have the ability to place your account temporarily on hold, change your pickup site or share, update your personal information, change your email address, and much more! This means you don’t have to email us every time – yay!

2. Choose one of Farmigo’s convenient payment options. You can pay for 1, 2, or 6 shares at a time.

3. Add a recurring egg order to your produce share. Add it once, and you’re done! You won’t have to place a new order each week, and you can change/delete your egg order whenever you like.
COMING SOON! Purchase more items from us through the Urban Acres webstore.
In short, the new system through Farmigo is going to be pretty awesome for everyone involved!
Just look for an email from us next week with your login info for the Farmigo website. You will log into the Farmigo website and set up your payment plan for your produce. All active members will need to set up new billing information on the Farmigo website, but it will only take a minute or two!
Will my info be secure with Farmigo?
Farmigo uses trusted encryption software to protect their site. They work with industry-leaders like Paypal to process transactions and have implemented Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide communications confidentiality over the Internet.
What if I don’t understand how to use my account on Farmigo?
Farmigo has made the system very user-friendly, and we know you’ll love it. If you need help, just ask us.
What if I’m currently paying by check?
If you are paying by check, you may continue to do so, but we think you’ll like the Farmigo system for easy online payments.
