New Piglets on the Farm!

As the sun rises over our farmstay, the sound of squealing piglets can be heard. These little bundles of joy have recently joined our farm family, and they are bringing new life and energy to the property. There is something special about the arrival of new piglets on a farm. They represent the future of the farm, and are a reminder of the cycle of life and growth. These little creatures are not only adorable but also important for the sustainability of our farm. At our farmstay, we raise red wattle and Hampshire cross breed pigs, which are known for their excellent meat quality and their ability to thrive in outdoor settings. We believe in ethical and sustainable farming practices, and our pigs are raised without the use of hormones or antibiotics.

Exploring the Timeless Beauty of Tyler Rose Garden

Nestled in the heart of Texas, the Tyler Rose Garden stands as a testament to nature's artistry and human dedication. Spanning across 14 acres of land, this enchanting garden is a paradise for flower enthusiasts, history aficionados, and anyone seeking tranquility amidst vibrant blooms. A Glimpse Into History The Tyler Rose Garden traces its roots back to the 1930s when it was established as an experimental garden to cultivate and showcase the finest varieties of roses. Over the decades, it evolved into the exquisite haven it is today, earning the well-deserved title of the "Rose Capital of America." Blossoming Splendor and Size Within this sprawling garden, over 35,000 rose bushes of around 500 varieties paint a breathtaking panorama of colors, scents, and shapes. The garden's design intertwines beautifully landscaped trails, pergolas adorned with climbing roses, and themed sections showcasing different types and colors of roses. Tyler Rose Garden Vari

Catfish Pond on Gomez Farm Creek

Back in April we restocked the pond with catfish. Although we allow fishing in our pond, it is catch and release only at this point. We are trying to get our fish population to where they are sustainable without us having to restock the pond. A self-sustaining catfish pond refers to a pond or aquaculture system where catfish can thrive and reproduce without the need for external inputs or excessive human intervention. The term "self-sustaining" implies that the pond can support the growth and reproduction of catfish while maintaining a stable ecosystem and minimizing the reliance on external resources. In a self-sustaining catfish pond, the primary goal is to create a balanced and ecologically sound environment where catfish can find their food, reproduce naturally, and maintain a healthy population. We went out to check on them recently. Here is a short video of them eating. We hope that when you are visiting our farm that you have a chance to come out to the pond. We als
