Producers

We grow plants suited to landscaping and revegetation in south Texas. Our stock includes trees, shrubs, perennial groundcovers, wetland plants, grasses, cacti and succulents. Please call for availability and  quantities as these vary during the year. Larger sizes are available for many shrubs and most trees.

Growing in Harmony with Nature. Our gardening practices are based on many years of gardening experience. My family is Cherokee. I grew up on an organic farm and learned that if we take care of the soil, it will feed us. We practice natural gardening. We do not use chemicals or synthetic fertilizers in the garden. Insects are controlled with beneficial predators. We prefer to grow open-pollinated, heirloom varieties of vegetables.

We are a small two-person, 5 acre farm. We bought the land in August of 2006 and have been nurturing the soil back to good health by planting cover crops and green manures. We practice intensive farming and the heaviest piece of equipment we use is a small tiller!

Tierra Viva Farm is your source for fresh, local, naturally grown vegetables in the Harlingen area. My priorities are the health of the soil, the plants I grow, and the people who eat the food those plants bear. I use only organic fertilizers, and NO synthetic pesticides.

Kal Morris is in the Bayview area, truck farming organically. He will be participating in the Harlingen Farmers Market and plans to bring herbs in pots (thyme, cilantro, rosemary, sage, tarragon, parsley, oregano, etc), and some of the herbs fresh in packages too.
