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.
