Green Gate Farms

My eyes have been opened to one of the best local farms I've ever been to. Green Gate Farms is located about 8 miles east of downtown Austin. My wife found out that they have week long summer day camps for kids so we sent our daughter there this summer. She said it was by far the best summer camp she'd ever been to. On her last day they invited all the parents for a pot luck meal and they stewed up a rooster. Erin Flynn, the owner, was giving a speech about Green Gate Farm, its history and its uncertain future because of Austin's growth and zoning. It's a wonderful place and I hope this Austin treasure never goes away.
