Historic Boggy Creek Farm, Austin

About Historic Boggy Creek Farm

Historic Boggy Creek Farm is a working five-acre urban farm in East Austin that visitors can explore through tours, volunteer days, and farm stays. The property, built in 1841, operates as one of Austin's original urban farms using regenerative, no-till sustainable practices to grow vegetables and fruits. The farm stand, open Wednesday through Saturday mornings, sells produce harvested from fields steps away, along with locally made meats, dairy, breads, coffee, oils, preserves, and eggs. Visitors can walk the grounds to learn about the farm's history and farming techniques through guided or self-guided tours available in small groups. Hands-on volunteer opportunities include harvesting, weeding, and planting, with participants gaining practical skills and taking home produce. The historic farmhouse, a modified Greek Revival home that once welcomed President Sam Houston, also hosts community events and educational workshops. The farm suits individuals eighteen and older seeking to learn sustainable agriculture, connect with local food production, or experience agritourism accommodations on the working property in East Austin.
