Cox Family Farm

Hi. I'm Fr. Cassian Sibley, a Russian Orthodox priest living in Bryan. Two years ago I was the first person to write a review of the Cox Family farm. I liked it then - and I love it now. After being a customer for a year and a half, purchasing a cow share, buying half a cow for pasture fed beef, buying honey and grain, and getting most of my vegetables out of Cathy's garden - I thought that this family farm had the potential to become a truly great and even (God willing!) somewhat profitable little CSA - but to get there it needed just a little bit of outside help, especially since the garden had always been something of an afterthought and rather small. After a little soul searching - and personal budget crunching - I volunteered my services as a gardener and a beekeeper - and now I am an employee and an almost full-time gardener at the farm. The garden has been almost tripled in size and there are now 32 satisfied weekly customers. The CSA is currently almost maxed out - but there are plans to expand. Come out and visit the farm, say hello, and get your name put on the waiting list.

As I say, I am paid a little to work here now, but I remain a satisfied customer too! And since I do work here I can assure you that nothing (nothing!) goes into the garden but compost and organic natural products - pests are controlled with rotation, neem, and plant soap exclusively. Cathy Cox and I are both obsessive on the subject of sustainable and pesticide free farming. And since the area is mostly dedicated to ranching rather than farming, there is little or no chance of GMO contamination of the garden. If you want really, really clean, chemical free, petroleum free, GMO free vegetables and other food products - this farm would be a good choice.
