With parts of Central Texas in the “exceptional drought” category and a significant rain deficit to boot, the key to survival for an Austin-based, family-run farm of 30 years is resourcefulness.
AUSTIN, Texas —
Boggy Creek Farm Operations Manager Tracy Geyer says the key to success is saving as much water and moisture as possible. “It’s a lot of responsibility being stewards of this land and trying to keep it safe for generations to come but it makes us very proud and we’re honored to do it,” Geyer said. Saving every ounce of moisture is vital for their operation, with an emphasis on non-tilling techniques such as the use of landscape fabric, drip-tape irrigation, rainwater catchment and a little excrement for their natural compost.
“We prepare everything in our greenhouse. We seed out the number of trays of different things the same no matter what and we just hope for the best,” Geyer said.
