Bringing people together on the Farm
Family-owned and operated local farm George Farms is located in Poteet, Texas at 595 Mobile Home Alley, 78065. They grow a variety of vegetables from sweet corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, and more, including fruit. They believe family, prayer, and farming is the key to happiness and want to contribute wellness, friendships, and build long-term relationships with their customers.
The love for their community doesn’t just pour out through their fresh harvests though. It’s the variety of seasonal events that displays it as well. From picking your own fresh flowers, pumpkin patches, and even being able to do a bit of fishing on the farm is what brings friends and families together there in Poteet.
