Join us for our annual Spring Farm Tour featuring three unique destination farms for a fun day of touring, eating, drinking, and supporting local organic, regenerative agriculture. The tour runs from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

We’ll start the morning at 10:00am with a tour of the new McKinney Roots at Gray Branch Park and discuss our current projects, plantings, and what to expect in the coming summer/fall months. Enjoy mimosas and breakfast tacos by Executive Chef, Roberto Garcia of Rick’s Chophouse. From there we will board the bus and set out for stop two!
Next, we will visit Prairie Farmstead of Sherman, TX where we’ll be accompanied by Executive Chef, Andrea Shackelford of Harvest at The Masonic. We will tour the regenerative multi-species livestock farm, and finish with lunch paired with select wines from Amici Cellars and TUPPS beer. OH! and expect cute little baby chicks! 😊

We’ll round out the afternoon with our final stop at Freshly Cut Stems in Van Alstyne, TX, a sustainably grown flower farm with rows of gorgeous long stems. Enjoy dessert from Chef James Harrison of Burnt by J.H. and a Texas Taro cocktail from Dripping Springs with flowers from the farm.

A beautiful day to connect with the land, the people behind it, and the food on your table.

🌱 Big news for McKinney Roots! Our donation garden, part of The Seed Project Foundation , is moving soon to Gray Branch Park. Everything we grow—100% of it—goes straight back to the Collin County community. Same mission, new home, and even more room to give back. Stay tuned! 💚🍅
