Historic Site and Urban Farm Tour at Boggy Creek Farm

This Mother's Day Weekend, step into Austin’s past and present at Historic Boggy Creek Farm—home to one of the city’s oldest residences and a thriving urban farm in the heart of Austin. This guided tour invites visitors into the story of the 1841 farmhouse, the land, and the people who shaped it over generations. Guests will be guided through the grounds surrounding the historic home, hearing the story of the house, its people, and its history, while learning how this site has evolved from an early Texas homestead into a working, five-acre regenerative urban farm. The tour continues into the fields, where visitors gain insight into how food is grown today using sustainable practices that support soil health, seasonal production, and local food systems. More than a historic site, Boggy Creek Farm remains a living, working landscape—connecting Austin’s past to its present through agriculture, education, and community. Tours conclude with an opportunity to visit the onsite farmstand, open year-round Wednesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., where guests can purchase local products and fresh, seasonal produce grown just steps away.
