DRIPPING SPRINGS — Home Grown Farm & Ranch celebrated its official ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday, Aug. 20, marking a milestone for the locally rooted business.
What began just two years ago as a backyard passion for gardening and raising food for family has blossomed into a hub for fresh, clean and local products. With steady growth and community support, Home Grown has proudly become part of the Dripping Springs farming community, offering healthier options while building connections with other local producers, according to a news release.
Located at 2400-B US 290 in Dripping Springs, Home Grown Farm & Ranch offers a wide variety of locally sourced goods. Customers can find farm-fresh eggs, pasture-raised chicken, fruits, vegetables, beef, pork and seafood.
The store also carries raw milk, Mill-King low-temp pasteurized milk, cheese, yogurt, kefir and gluten-free baked goods from Evangeline’s Gluten Free Bakery, which uses organic, non-GMO ingredients in a 100% gluten-free kitchen.
Beyond food, Home Grown stocks clean home, bath and body products, non-GMO seeds from Bentley Seed Co., organic transplants from Gabriel Valley Farms and a selection of gifts.
The mission of Home Grown Farm & Ranch is simple: support local farmers, while providing fresher, cleaner alternatives than those found in big-box stores. By buying local, customers not only bring healthier food to their families, but also help sustain small businesses and strengthen the broader community, the news release stated.
Hours of operation are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with extended hours until 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. The store is closed Sundays and Mondays. The Home Grown team invites community members to stop by and discover the difference of fresh, local and community-driven food.
