Farm Tour and seedling sale - Johnson's Backyard Garden
Farm Tour - Johnson's Backyard Garden
Slow Food USA maintains the Ark of Taste, a catalog of historically and culturally important foods, to encourage their continued enjoyment. Slow Food Austin invites you to join them on a Farm Foraging Tour of Johnson's Backyard Garden, a certified-organic produce farm and greenhouse operation. Tour participants will receive farm-grown Ark of Taste vegetable transplants to grow their own Backyard Gardens.
From its humble beginning on East Holly Street, Johnson's Backyard Garden has outgrown Brenton and Beth Johnson's backyard and become the largest member-subscription farm in the southern U.S. - right here on the near-east side of Austin, Texas.
Brenton Johnson will tell tour participants a little bit about their phenomenal growth. How have they done this? And why is this growth good for you, Austin Locavore? Limited spaces will fill fast; RSVP at education@slowfoodaustin.org.
