Local Farmers of the Month: Prickly Pair
Founded in 2011, Prickly Pair Farm is located in Burnet County, Texas. Situated on approximately 30 acres, with 5 acres under cultivation, a majority of the land is dedicated to conservation activities. They grow more than 125 seasonal vegetables and fresh cut flower varieties intended for farmers’ markets, friends, and family. Animals are an integral part of their farming practices and they specifically raise rabbits and chickens for their beneficial farming output in addition to more traditional reasons.
Founders Mike and Matt work and manage all aspects of land usage, cultivation, resource conservation and business activities. They both come from professional careers far afield of agriculture, but are single-minded in their approach to farming. Only the highest quality flowers, fruits and vegetables will be offered to customers. Their commitment is to utilize only natural or naturally derived inputs for all products and to improve the land for future generations.
Prickly Pair is entirely powered by renewable energy!
