We tailor our field trips to the interests of each group so we’d like to have a quick call to discuss your goals before you come. Depending upon the size of the group, your tour of our east Austin farm may include:

• a farmer-led walking tour of fields of flowers, vegetables and orchard

• a tasting tour of edible flowers, veggies, herbs, wild plants

• farm areas of interest: compost area, greenhouse, geese, ducks, chicken coop

• such sustainability topics as: organic, regenerative growing systems; native plants; foraging; farmland preservation; how to support your local farmers; soil health; raising animals in your backyard; climate action; Texas Stewardship Amendment; Blue Zones; Dark Skies; Austin Food Plan; water conservation; agrihoods and farm-centered communities

• historic Bergstrom barn, farmhouse and outbuildings built in 1902

• Village Farm agrihood, the country’s first farm-centered tiny home community

• Opportunities to purchase veggies, honey, flower bouquets, eggs and more. You are also welcome to reserve/pay for farm products in advance via our online Shop page.

After our tour, your group is welcome to have lunch or relax at our six picnic tables in the shade beside the barn. (Please take all waste with you, though food scraps can be composted here.)

The fee for each participant is $15. We appreciate your group arriving wearing closed-toed shoes (no sandals, please) and name tags. Our staff is small so smaller groups are preferred (20-50 participants.) Hosting larger groups is possible but only when we have adequate staffing.

We look forward to working with you on creating a memorable and fun experience for your group!
