Finca Tres Robles

About

Finca Tres Robles is houston’s only private farm inside the 610 loop, located in Houston’s east side just 4 miles from Houston’s city hall. Here we are growing herbs, fruits and vegetables to be sold to individuals and families directly from our farm and at area farmers markets. We have been working to make it accessible and affordable to the immediate east end community as a way to begin to challenge the food system of the neighborhood, to build community, and to keep money here in our immediate, local economy.

Farming Practices

Finca Tres Robles has been experimenting with a unique approach to farming in an urban environment and we believe in the power of its potential. We have been developing the concept of Limited Resource Farming which looks to establish systems using free available resources to build fertility, increase production, and lower initial and long-term expenditures.

Using the advantages of our location, such as access to organic wastes (woodchips, grass clippings, etc), recyclable materials, and roofs for water catchment, we are developing a way to farm not only better but cheaper which is a vital aspect in making this farm financially sustainable. We believe in farming’s potential to change communities and see our model as one that is applicable and replicable in other cities as well as parts of our own.
