History and Mission

Finca Tres Robles, an urban farm nestled in Houston's el Segundo Barrio, has taken an abandoned property and cultivated it into a flourishing community resource. Driven by a mission to foster community health through urban farming, the farm provides access to fresh, locally-sourced produce while integrating educational and community-building initiatives.

Farming and Practices

Finca Tres Robles employs urban farming techniques to produce seasonal vegetables sustainably. They are committed to community engagement and operate a variety of food access programs, including a tiered pricing system and a Neighborhood Food Access program ensuring fresh food reaches those facing barriers.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

Their CSA program offers a real connection between locals and their farmers. Participants invest in the harvest season and receive weekly shares of fresh produce grown on the farm. The farm provides both Seasonal and Monthly Payment Plans, with a one-time registration fee for new members. This CSA initiative supports community involvement while promoting fresh food access.

Community and Education

Finca Tres Robles nurtures community relationships through diverse activities. The farm hosts volunteer days, farm tours, yoga sessions, and open mic nights, fostering a vibrant community spirit. Educational endeavors include hands-on workshops, culinary classes, and herbal infusion classes, connecting residents to farming practices and healthy living.

Farm Store and Accessibility

Their Farm Store provides access to high-quality, affordable produce from the farm and other local Texas sources. By implementing tiered pricing, the store ensures that fresh food remains accessible to everyone in the community, complemented by their SNAP acceptance and Food Prescription Program.
