Eden East Farm sells fresh, organic produce to the Bastrop community. Goods grown on-site are available for purchase at the Eden East farm stand from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The backstory

In 2020, David Barrow and his wife, Sonya Cote, moved their Austin farm to Bastrop, expanding to fill 4 acres of farmland off Bastrop’s Main Street.

“We have been welcomed with open arms here in Bastrop. We’re very happy to be here,” Barrow said. “We're just going to work our butts off and continue doing what we do.”Produce from the farm services Storehouse Market and Eatery in downtown Bastrop, also owned by the couple.

Fresh, in-season produce, including turnips, radishes, broccoli, cabbage and kale, are grown on the farm. Between 800 and 1,000 pounds of food is harvested at the farm each week, Barrow said.

The farm also serves as a venue for private and community events.

“We want to be a community gathering space,” Barrow said.

Also of note

The farm seeds 95% of its produce on-site. Those looking to start their own gardens can pick up seasonal seeds for free at the farm’s seed library.

The farm offers a discount to customers who drop off compostable goods during farm stand hours.

Looking ahead

The farm will expand the chicken coop and native garden in 2024. Work to add more garden space will also soon be underway.
