Boggy Creek Farm
$5,000 Luck Texas Family Grant and $2,500 Premiere Events Community Grant: $7,500
Launched in 1992, previous grant winner Boggy Creek Farm was the first urban farm in Austin, kickstarting the area locavore movement. Anchored by a restored 1841 farmhouse, the farm has been an important source of fresh, organic produce in East Austin's food desert and a community gathering space for more than 150 years.
Funding will provide ADA-compliant accessibility to the newly built climate-controlled Tomato House, helping the community staple to further its culinary and educational experiences.
