I just added two local growers to our San Antonio Foodshed group on Facebook:
http://www.shadyfallsfarm.com in Elmendorf and http://www.greencountryfarm.com in Floresville. Shady Falls Farm offers eggs, chicken, turkey, beef, and pork. Green Country Farm offers organically grown blackberries. Visit www.sanantoniofoodshed.org for updates and information on where to find locally-grown food in the San Antonio area.
Happy picking!
Here's a wonderful source of short articles about San Antonio art and culture, food, health, sustainable living, events, etc.
Here's what the editors have to say:
SAMETRO is your resource for San Antonio arts and culture, local events, news, health, spirit and more. We are a grassroots organization that started from an informal e-mail and grew to become the most popular e-mailer in the South Texas region. We are written for and by you: the Alamo City residents who want to explore the city's fine hidden gems. From signing up for our newsletter to submitting your own discoveries, be a part of this living, breathing publication with content that you can't find anywhere else.
Are you smelling whiffs of grape kool-aid in the air? If you're new to San Antonio or the Texas Hill Country, or just visiting, you may not realize that the smell comes from a tree - the Mountain Laurel. It's native to San Antonio and the Hill Country, a beautiful tree that is drought-tolerant and as well-adapted to our neighborhoods as to the undeveloped hills. Are you looking for a great tree to plant in the yard? Keep this one in mind.
Here are some telling numbers on single residential homes sold in San Antonio during the first quarter of 2004 to 2009. All the data was obtained from SABOR's Multiple Listing Service and is deemed reliable.
2006 was an interesting year. Note that there were many houses on the market, their median sales price was lower (by about $9,000), and they were on the market the shortest amount of time.
Here are some fresh numbers reflecting San Antonio home sales for the month of March. The number of homes sold has decreased significantly compared with March 2006 but the median prices are quite stable, reflecting the fact that we have a strong market.
