Special Instructions
Carol Ann and Larry began their "back-to-the-farm movement" in 1981, farming land in Gause, in Milam county, as a weekend adventure, but by 1991, the couple decided to follow their dream full-time.
Thus they began farming the Milam county farm, growing cool weather crops (carrots, lettuce, broccoli, etc.) and hot weather crops (tomatoes -- lots of tomatoes! -- squash, cucumbers, etc) which they sold at a small farm stand on a street corner near their home.
In 1992 they bought five acres in East Austin, and with the Gause property, Boggy Creek Farm, and history, were made.
Winning bidder must take possession of book and hot sauce and use their gift certificate by November 12, 2011.
