Our Farm
We have restored part of our back pasture, grazed by cattle over the past 50 years, to farmland once again.
We call our farm “beyond organic” meaning we never use pesticides and we focus on growing with integrity: low till, water conscious and focused on soil health.

Live, Local Music in the Hill Country
Each week we pair our world-class beers and farm-fresh dining with live music showcasing some of the most talented local bands, musicians and songwriters in our area. We love supporting local artists and musicians and mix things up with a wide variety of Americana, Folk, Bluegrass, Country, Blues, Western Swing, Surf, Jazz, Rock and more. All shows are free, all ages, weather-dependent and open to the public, unless otherwise noted for special events.
