Five years ago, Brenton Johnson began growing vegetables in a 30-by-50-foot plot in the backyard of his family's home on Holly Street in East Austin. Today he's farming 70 acres with the help of full-time employees and volunteers. JBG operates the largest Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program in the Southern United States, providing fresh, organic vegetables to 900 families a month. JBG's vision: to feed as many Austin residents as possible via organic, sustainable farming. Questions? Contact JBG at 512-386-5273 or farm@jbgorganic.com.
