Shirttail Creek Farm

In Spring 2017, to the dismay of our friends and family, we abruptly sold our house in central Austin and traded city living for life on Shirttail Creek Farm just outside Brenham, TX (about halfway between Austin and Houston). It would be fair to call this a leap of faith... After a 15 year career in Digital Advertising and chasing the life we thought we wanted we realized we were on a path that wasn’t actually fulfilling for us. So with two kids in tow (1 and 3 at the time) we set out to lay down some roots on a farm where we could raise our kids, and build a life full of meaning and purpose. Were we naive to the realities of what we were doing? Absolutely. But if it wasn't for ignorance and a desire for adventure, nobody would ever take any risk at all! And so the journey began.

Moving to the farm was the beginning of an awakening for us. Yes we moved away from our favorite coffee shops, our friends, and our comfort zones, but we also thrust ourselves into a life that didn't allow us to hide when the weather turned bad or call for help every time the tractor broke down or an animal got sick.

It was also the beginning of our evolution around how we view food. Before moving to the farm, we shopped at the big fancy 'granola' grocery stores in Austin and bought foods with packaging that had all the right buzz words. Organic, Sustainable, Natural, Humane, etc....But how was all this stuff made and with what? Well it turns out organic sugar will still give you diabetes!

As our eyes opened to the many problems that exist in our food system as well as the the plentitude of disinformation that informs the food buying decisions of so many of us we wanted to make a positive change by producing real, unadulterated food and giving people the option to buy from the farm instead of the supermarket.
