Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Manor, TX

Austin

Johnson's Backyard Garden is one of Central Texas's largest certified-organic vegetable farms, based on Hergotz Lane in east Austin. It runs a long-standing CSA program and sells at farmers markets across the Austin area, growing a wide rotation of seasonal vegetables, greens, and herbs. The farm hosts CSA pickups and events at its Austin fields.

Elgin

A choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm on Monkey Road near Elgin, east of Austin in Bastrop County. The farm grows Southern-adapted evergreens such as Virginia pine and Leyland cypress, opening the weekend after Thanksgiving for families to tag and cut their own tree. Precut firs, wreaths, and hot cocoa typically round out the visit.

Hutto

Best Clucking Place Farms is a small poultry-focused farm outside Hutto, in fast-growing Williamson County northeast of Austin. The name points to chickens and farm-fresh eggs, the kind of pasture-raised operation common on the ranchettes ringing the Austin metro. Details online are sparse, so message or call ahead to check egg availability and whether they sell direct.

Elgin

Elgin Christmas Tree Farm has served Central Texas for more than 35 years with choose-and-cut pine and cypress trees plus pre-cut firs, opening the weekend before Thanksgiving. Summer brings u-pick blackberries, and the farm welcomes pets. Reach them at (512) 281-5016 or [email protected]. The farm is on Natures Way in Elgin, east of Austin.

Bastrop

Barton Hill Farms hosts a fall festival on Farm to Market 969 in Bastrop, along the Colorado River east of Austin. The farm pairs family activities with on-site food and drink, and runs fully cashless during events. Dates, hours, and ticket details change by season, so check the farm's site before heading out.

Austin

Feather Down Farms is a farm-stay glamping company that sets canvas safari-style tents on working farms, giving guests a rural overnight without roughing it. The East 5th Street address in Austin is a business office rather than a farm you can book on the spot. Actual stays are hosted at partner farms, so check the company's site for current locations and availability.

Cedar Creek

Bastrop Garden Farms is an agritourism operation on Old Highway 71 in Cedar Creek, between Austin and Bastrop. The name suggests a market-garden or produce focus. Verified details on crops, CSA, or u-pick aren't available online, so contact the farm to learn what it grows and when it's open.

Georgetown

A 172-acre working family farm along the San Gabriel River near Georgetown, about 30 minutes north of Austin. Scurlock rents two vacation homes, Rocky Overlook and the Palette Pad, where guests feed animals, gather eggs, and fish the river. High-speed WiFi and pet-friendly cabins make it a Hill Country base for a remote-work stretch or a quiet weekend.

Cedar Park

Brungot Farms sells fresh-cut Fraser fir Christmas trees and wreaths across the Austin area, running a seasonal lot in Cedar Park since 2014. The trees ship in fresh for the holidays, with delivery offered alongside in-person shopping. Hours run afternoons on weekdays and all day on weekends through December. Check their site for the current lot location and stock.

Georgetown

Sweet Eats Fruit Farm grows u-pick blackberries along State Highway 29 just east of Georgetown, with picking through the early-summer weeks. Come fall the farm reopens as a family destination with a pumpkin patch, sunflower fields, and hayrides. It sits roughly half an hour north of Austin, so weekends draw families from across Williamson County. Ripe fruit sells out fast, so check current picking conditions before driving out.

Leander

Texas Pumpkin Fest is a seasonal pumpkin patch event that sets up around Leander each October, selling hundreds of thousands of pounds of pumpkins. Weekend visitors get train rides, magic shows, live entertainment, and a free mini-pumpkin for every child. The event moves venues between years, so check the current location before heading out. Admission runs per person, with free on-site parking. Contact [email protected].

Paige

Omi's grows u-pick blackberries just east of the US 290/Highway 21 split in Paige, and the berries are raised without pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides, so you can taste them straight off the vine while you pick. The season runs from late spring into early summer, and hours shift with the weather and how the fruit is ripening. Bring cash or a check; card payments carry a small surcharge. Check their Facebook page before driving out, since picking closes when the berries run low.

Austin

Sweet Dreams grows lavender on Wagon Road West in far southwest Austin, out toward the Hill Country edge near Oak Hill. Lavender farms in this part of Texas usually open for cutting and photos when the plants bloom in late spring and early summer, then sell dried bundles, sachets, and oils the rest of the year. Confirm bloom timing and visiting days before you go.
