Farm
Closed
Pasture-raised heritage pork, farm-fresh eggs, and seasonal produce from a chef-owned permaculture farm.
Culinary Life Farm is a family farm in Kingsbury, Texas, owned and operated by Candie, a Culinary Institute of America graduate and certified permaculture designer. The farm was established in 2021 on acreage between San Antonio and Austin. Our primary focus is raising heritage pork: English Large Blacks and Tamworth pigs raised entirely on pasture with rotational grazing across open pasture and silvopasture. We also raise laying hens on a diet of garden scraps and weeds, which produce eggs with deep-orange, richly flavored yolks. Seasonal produce is grown in on-contour gardens designed to maximize water retention in the central Texas climate. We also offer a CSA with options for produce, eggs, and pork, and plan to host cooking and preservation classes covering canning, fermentation, and scratch cooking. Learn more on their About Page.
The farm is laid out according to permaculture principles, designed by Candie as a certified permaculture designer. No chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides are used on the land. Pigs are raised entirely on pasture using rotational grazing, with access to both open pasture and silvopasture where they are encouraged to root and forage. Laying hens receive a diet of garden scraps and weeds and, in return, produce compost for the gardens. Holistic animal management practices are used to keep animals healthy and free from chemical exposure. Gardens are established on the contour of the land to capture rainwater and reduce runoff, which is especially important given the dry spells common in central Texas. Rainwater collection and solar power are planned future additions to the farm.
