Verstuyft Farm October 2007

Imagine my delight as I watched my dinner being brought straight from the field...actually, it was several dinners. The vegetables were harvested minutes before I arrived at the farm; they were in the field or being washed as I drove up to the produce stand. You won’t find that freshness at your local grocery store. You might save a few dollars too. We Texans are very fortunate because we can enjoy the products of our land almost year-round. When you buy locally-grown foods, you help the local economy, satisfy your taste buds, make wonderful discoveries, become more connected with the land, live to the rhythm of seasons, and you help the environment!

The produce stand opens for business from about the middle October and until about the middle of February. Look for beets, turnips, green beans, tomatoes, peppers, pecans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, etc. For the summer season, the stand reopens from the middle of May until the middle of August, and you’ll find corn, tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, and other summer goodies. The farm is located near the intersection of I-35 and Loop 1604 southwest of San Antonio. For details, call (210) 622-3423.
