The farm behind the garden
Flying Rabbit Farm is an urban homestead, plant nursery, and market garden rooted in one conviction: Central Texas deserves plants grown in Central Texas soil. Here’s our story.
ABOUT
— Our Story
A seed was planted
Flying Rabbit Farm started the way most good things in Austin do — with a backyard, a few raised beds, and the stubborn belief that you could grow real food in the middle of the city. What began as a personal experiment in Windsor Park gradually became something the neighborhood could share in.
Today we operate as an urban homestead and plant nursery on the east side of Austin — growing Texas-adapted vegetables, herbs, native perennials, and drought-tolerant annuals from seed, right here in the same clay soil and relentless heat your garden lives in. No mystery origins. No out-of-state starts.
We also run workshops, offer landscape consulting, make cottage foods from what we grow, and welcome the community through our gates on Thursdays. It’s a small operation run with big intention — and we’re glad you found us.
— About the Farm
Grown in Austin,
for Texas
Grow local, Eat local
Every plant we sell was grown in Austin. Every vegetable we harvest comes from our garden beds. Local doesn't just mean purchased nearby — it means started here.
Work with the climate, not against it
Austin has brutal summers, surprise frosts, and clay soil most gardening books ignore. We grow varieties and teach techniques that actually work here.
Share knowledge freely
Workshops, social media, Patreon, and Thursday conversations at the gate — we share everything we learn, because a neighborhood that gardens together thrives together.
Making urban homesteading approachable
You don't need acres. A few raised beds, a water-wise landscape, or a single productive fruit tree can change how you eat, think, and connect to your land.

— Locations
Where are we?
We actually have two locations. Our market garden and plant nursery is rooted in Austin’s Windsor Park neighborhood on a 0.2 acre city lot. We also claim 10 rural acres in Williamson County, which is where our apiary is located. The land is currently a place where we practice wildlife preservation. We provide food and shelter for native and migrating bird species, cover crop to provide food for the critters and improve the soil, keep invasive plants under control, and otherwise let Mother Nature do her thing.

Hours of Operation
Won’t stop, can’t stop. We are basically always open. You can pick-up orders on Thursdays 3-7pm or make an appointment by calling or texting 512.348.7570
Getting Here
Located just east of I-35 and north of the Mueller neighborhood — about 10 minutes from downtown. Exact address is provided when you order or RSVP for pickup. Street parking is available. Knock, call, or text when you arrive.
Williamson County
Apiary & Wildlife Preservation
Hey there, honey! In addition to our urban homestead, we have 10 acres of wild Texas Blackland Prairie. Currently you can only catch a buzz with our bees or pick some dewberries when they are in season, but the land is full of potential and thorny mesquite trees.
