Finca Tres Robles

Finca Tres Robles Connecting People👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Place🌏 & Food🥬 through a CultureofHealth❤️ and Community🤝 in 2ndWard!
(45)

Finca Tres Robles nurtures a culture of health in Houston’s East End to renew the bond between people, place and food. We have developed our farm as essential health infrastructure to upend systemic inequalities at the neighborhood level. We invest in small solutions as the pathway to realizing larger structural change. Finca Tres Robles was started in 2014 on a 1.25 acre lot on Houston’s East Sid

e just 4 miles from Houston’s City Hall where we have been growing organic herbs, fruits, and vegetables to be sold to families and individuals directly from our farm. While this produce will not only be convenient, healthy and accessible to individuals in the area, we are working to make it affordable to the immediate 2nd Ward community as a way to begin to challenge the food system of the neighborhood, to build relationships, and to keep money here in our immediate, local economy. Finca Tres Robles is operated by Small Places, a nonprofit dedicated to cultivating community health through urban farming, and is the first urban farm in our vision of a network of community farms in Houston.

A tent and a few veggies - that’s all our first Farm Stands consisted of at the original Finca.

Today’s looks back at our first, very small Farm Stands - harvesting and selling whatever we could from our first beds to whoever we could.

Fortunately, we had a dedicated few who would come by on Saturdays to find these early veggies a good home.

Thank you to all those early visitors that helped us get the farm moving!

Una tienda de campaña y algunas verduras: eso es todo en lo que consistieron nuestros primeros puestos agrícolas en la Finca original.

El de hoy recuerda nuestros primeros y muy pequeños puestos agrícolas: cosechar y vender todo lo que pudimos de nuestras primeras camas a quien pudimos.

Afortunadamente, teníamos unos pocos dedicados que venían los sábados para encontrar un buen hogar para estas verduras tempranas.

¡Gracias a todos los primeros visitantes que nos ayudaron a poner la granja en marcha!
