Steve Kramer and Carey Burkett have been farming for 23 years. A jack-of-all-trades, Steve taught himself how to farm. He and Carey incorporate their Do-It-Yourself spirit and solid values into everything they do on their land. They take great pride in the quality of their fresh produce and being local to the community and it shows. For 15 years they’ve been farming 100 acres of fertile, high-iron, red sandy loam near Fredonia, Texas about 107 miles west of Austin. By taking advantage of naturally fertile Central Texas soil, this small, family-owned farm has grown everything from radicchio to bell peppers to squash using purely organic, traditional methods. The results are exactly the kind of crisp, colorful, delicious veggies one expects from a farm committed to a connection with nature and a simple way of life.
