Established in 2023, Fertile Foods is a sanctuary within the Roy Creek Watershed in Dripping Springs, Texas. The 23-acre property plays a critical role in preserving water quality and ecological balance at the headwaters of Roy Creek, which feeds into the Pedernales River and eventually supplies Austin with drinking water. Through sustainable land management, spring restoration, and creating a food forest, Fertile Foods is dedicated to revitalizing the ecosystem and ensuring a healthy, biodiverse future for and with its community.
Fertile Foods intends to give back as much as they can to the community and ecosystem. They're serious about the biology in the soils and balancing the microbiome using native plants/microbes. Restoring the land while helping families with their food sovereignty.
