During its potential 150-year life, each American pecan tree produces a nut that is unique in variety, making for millions of distinctive pecan nut flavors. Texas leads the nation in pecan production with an estimated 600,000 acres of trees consisting of 30,000,000 individual trees. Pecans are highly nutritious as they are sodium-free and contain upwards of 19 vitamins and minerals. As a nut with a high protein content, (18%) the pecan is listed on the USDA Food Guide pyramid as a nourishing alternative protein for people on a plant-based diet. Although not explicitly endangered, the American Native Pecan is at risk and in need of revitalization.

On our farm we raise a wide variety of vegetables. This is our fourth year of growing certified organic vegetables. We also have certified strawberries. We are very excited about the upcoming season.. Our customers come to our farm to buy, but we like them to leave as friends. Vegetables have a way of getting everyone to open up and talk. Through this we have learned over the years what our customers want and what they need. Our farm is open year round.

My name is Niti and I am the mother of 3 amazing souls. I started this modified CSA program because I wanted to find a way to receive locally raised ethical meat, seafood, produce, dairy products and sustainably produced local nutrient dense foods all year round. This was not possible unless I went out to all the farms myself every week to collect them.

Farm Stand Marfa is in far west Texas, where the high desert, ranching, antelopes, Donald Judd and locally grown come together. In "Making the Farm Stand Marfa Scene," The Big Bend Sentinel says: "It's the epitome of a small-town gathering and what fun, ranchers mingling with the newcomers, the hipsters, as well as the Marfa weekenders." We're organic and conventional. Vegan and carnivorous. We've got tamales and fresh corn tortillas and salsas.
