Rooting DFW – The Call Continues!

We won’t be at Dallas Farmers Market this weekend. The Wine Festival last year was a lesson learned and Faris was begging us to do something different this week.

Onward and forward.
Instead, we’re focused on something bigger – rooting and seeding up DFW! 🌱

Yesterday, for Friday we shared 200 mulberry cuttings, a few pomegranate roots and wrapped up the last 200+ fig cuttings. Every cutting is a future tree, a future harvest, and a step toward bringing back abundance to our communities. Now it’s time to stock up and keep growing!

100 mature trees is roughly 5,000lbs of fresh fruit for that neighborhood and community. 100,000 figs is 10 Million pounds!

📢 Who else is planting? Got extra cuttings to share? Let's keep this momentum going.

📍 Next Up: More fruit tree propagation, seed sharing, and new ways to get growers started in 2025.

Answer The Call. Plant. Seed. Share.

We’re heading to the Bishop Arts District now for some pizza and sharing. We’ve got fresh salads and our homemade pesto in tow, ready to enjoy and share with the community.

Join Us at Legacy Park in Arlington!

We’re headed to Legacy Park in Arlington for a fun afternoon of flying kites and doing a little metal detecting with the kids. And while we’re at it, we’ll be sharing a couple of totes of fresh figs, inshAllah.

We’d love for you and your family to join us if you’re nearby! Let’s make it a day of community, connection, and blessings.

See you there, God bless!

Cabbage Harvest in February!

February isnt the perfect time to harvest those crisp, nutrient-packed cabbages! However, when you're growing in a backyard garden, cabbage thrives in cooler weather and delivers delicious, versatile produce for your table.

From slaws to soups to ferments, there's no end to the culinary possibilities. Plus, cabbages are packed with vitamins C and K—perfect for boosting your winter health!

Happy harvesting, and may your February be filled with fresh greens and delicious meals.

Unfortunately, Braga Farms will not be at the Dallas Farmers Market on 2/1 & 2/22.

Instead, you can find us sharing figs and fresh produce at a few Dallas hotspots this Saturday and in East Texas/Canton on Sunday.

Blessings!

A friend of ours had a Palestinian fig variety that needed pruning… along with finding many new homes. 🌱

We’re keeping 20 for ourselves (though we already have one matured beauty) and another 20 for this weekend’s markets. 🛒

This afternoon, we’re heading to a local community to share the rest—details coming soon. Stay tuned!

Don't let this cold fool you folks, it's time to get ready, motivated and planning for the Spring ahead! Thats why we're sharing 2 totes of grape cuttings, 2 totes of figs, and 1 giant garbage can loaded with jujube cuttings.

👋 Come see us weekly at the Dallas Farmers Market for free cuttings or keep an eye out for the Grow Wagon making its rounds around town.

🌱 Before your figs freeze and the tops die off, cut them back and propagate! Share with your neighbors and let’s grow DFW into a thriving food forest.

🌟 Our 2025 Call to Action:

1️⃣ Plant two fruit trees for your family or neighborhood.
2️⃣ Start seeds for yourself and local daycares—help inspire the next generation.
3️⃣ Share for impact! Cuttings, seeds, or knowledge—every bit helps grow a stronger, local food network. 100 homes with 2 fruit trees each = an orchard.

✨ Visit our homepage for resources to make this easy for everyone. Let’s redefine what local food means, together.
