Appleby Community Farm
We originally felt called to Nacogdoches, TX in 2007 to purchase and run a Bed and Breakfast. But because of an unexpected detour, God had time to direct our attention to farming. After reading Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma, everything changed. In 2009, with Cindy's parents, we purchased 9 acres in the Appleby community and started farming with no prior experience — learning from books, seminars, YouTube, and mentors. We see farming as a sacred trust. Our goal is to feed families regardless of financial capacity, considering the impact seven generations into the future. We grow over 40 varieties of vegetables using naturally grown methods — no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers — plus pasture-raised eggs, kombucha, and foraged greens like purslane and amaranth. CSA members pick up weekly on Tuesdays at the farm, and we deliver within Nacogdoches. We're also at the Nacogdoches Farmers Market every Saturday morning.
