Moontower Co-op's Farm Social at Tecolote Farm

So long Spring! You were short and sweet but now it's time to ready ourselves for the Texan summer. Let Moontower Co-op lend y'all a hand by serving up some good ole slow roasted brisket, honey-cream biscuits, locally-sourced produce, and small batch ales and ciders prepared specially for this event out on the picturesque Tecolote Farm! This will be a great opportunity to learn more about the Moontower Co-op and join up at our membership table as a supporting member of the cooperative.

We'll also be purchasing tons of produce from local farms to help ease the financial burden of widespread crop damage resulting from the hailstorm in early April. We'll have more local produce dishes than y'all can shake a stick at! So let's all pitch in, buy some tickets, and help support the wonderful growers supplying our local food and farm communities in Central Texas!

To further ease the transition into summer with our good friends at Tecolote Farm we'll have some local bluegerass musicians and massage therapists practicing their arts and cultivating our sense of good cheer and well-being! Representatives of Moontower's partner groups will also be on hand to tell you all about our common efforts to support local agriculture and community development.
