About
B5 Farms is the continuation of family tradition of providing Central Texans with wholesome food. It began with the Boatman Dairy established by C.C. Boatman (my great-great-grandfather) in Austin, Texas. He recognized the importance of working with nature and technology to provide the best quality and nutrition to his customers. He registered the B5 brand with Travis County in1875 and began branding his cattle on the horn, to spare them discomfort and stress.
Today the B5 brand is a symbolic link to the past. It is our assertion that some of the old ways are best. Just try one of our many heirloom vegetables and compare them to conventionally produced, synthetically fertilized, pesticide drenched, and then chemically ripened produce from your grocery store. The difference in flavor is staggering and recent studies have suggested that many heirloom varieties produce more nutritious fruit as well.
