Owned by David Barrow and Sonya Cote, Eden East Farm is a sustainable urban farm in historical Bastrop offering seasonal vegetables, preserved items, eggs, medicinal and culinary herbs, meats, and other goods from a farm stand. The products supply area restaurants, including sibling business Store House Market & eatery, the first farm-to-table restaurant in Bastrop County.
