An Open Door Farm

Green Family Farms is what we like to call an open door farm.

Today we're out here in rural Texas, but it wasn’t always that way.

When I was a little girl, after my parents divorced, my dad would pick us up on weekends from my mom’s house. Many Sundays we would simply drive through the countryside together. I remember looking out the window at the farms we passed and wondering, Who lives there? What is it like inside those gates?

More than anything, I remember wishing I could stop and visit.

Now, many years later, I find myself living on a farm of my own. While many farms today sit quietly behind closed gates, I like to think of ours a little differently.

We are the open door farm.

Green Family Farms is a place for people who have ever wondered what life on a farm is really like — the same curiosity I had as a little girl looking out the car window.

Visitors are welcome to come experience the farm, take a guided farm tour, meet the animals, and spend a little time slowing down.  You can even sit in our small café area, enjoy a drink and/or snack, and watch the rhythm of farm life happening all around you.  It's a quiet, peaceful atmosphere where the kids can run and play in the backyard area located between the farm animals and the cafe lounge outdoor seating area while the parents sip/eat and talk.  For the kids, we have some activities: chalk to draw on sidewalk, coloring pages, balls and hula hoops to name a few.

What once felt like a mystery when I was a child driving past country farms

is now something we love sharing with others.

Visitors are always welcome here.
