Join Our Volunteer Team >URBAN ACRES STORY
It Started With a Few...
What started as a few friends traveling the dirt roads of Texas in a VW Rabbit has become the source of local and organic food for thousands of people in the DFW metroplex. We created a "co-op style" produce system that combines the best of a co-op, CSA, and farmer's market. Click below to learn more about us.
Your Food Has a Story
Food has a special place in everyone's world - it brings people to the table to connect and laugh. At Urban Acres we love finding the story behind the food which makes it more than just sustenance. Whether it's the goat cheese farmer who puts playpens in their living room for the baby goats, or a person whose life and health have been changed by real food, these stories are what make Urban Acres unique, and we will continue sharing them.
The Spirit of Sharing...
When Urban Acres was just a tiny group of 19 families in a parking lot, we packed up the leftover food and went knocking on doors in South Dallas to feed those who were less fortunate. We're proud to say we haven't lost that spirit. Any produce shares that are not picked up are donated to non-profits all across DFW.

UPDATES FROM THE FARM
Gundermann Acres
Summer is in full bloom at Gundermann Acres with Texas non-GMO sweet corn in abundance, and we are excited to have their peaches and figs soon. They just ushered their first child into the world and are excited to have just closed on a nice new big piece of land.
Our Farmers
Morrison Organic Farm
Jacky and Cindy Morrison have finally found new land in Comanche, TX. A good 4-hour drive from Urban Acres, the new land is open with a great water source. Right now they are sleeping in an RV as they build their new barn with living quarters. A pump has been finished, and next on the list is to start planting cover crops to add nutrients back into the soil.
Our Farmers
Caprino Royale
What a year our wonderful goat farmers Eric and Karen have had in Waco. They have doubled in size and continue to grow as they make the best Chèvre goat cheese in Texas. Our last visit found us playing with the baby goats ("kids") and helping with milking time. Stay tuned for a new possible blue goat cheese they've been working on.

We are excited about our basket! I’ve got big plans for the greens. Our toddler tried some raw mustard greens and said, Spicy! I like it!Robin Brant
