Specialties
Johnson’s Backyard Garden is a 20-acre certified organic farm just five miles east of Downtown Austin owned by Brenton and Beth Johnson. We have a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program which serves 900 families in Austin year-round with fresh, organic vegetables, herbs and flowers. Our members benefit from convenient neighborhood delivery locations and are invited to participate in U-pick days, farm tours, and other member events that take place throughout the year.
History
Established in 2004.
In 2004, we started out on Holly Street in East Austin with a 30×50 foot «Backyard Garden.» In 2006 we were fortunate enough to greatly expand (and give the kids plenty of room to play) with the purchase of a 20-acre tract located just five miles east of downtown Austin. In June 2009 we signed a contract for the purchase of an additional 40 acres fifteen miles east of downtown. In five short years, our CSA has grown from being the smallest in Austin with only 10 members to now being the largest CSA in Texas, with 900 members!
Meet the Business Owner
Brenton J.
Business Owner
Brenton Johnson is the owner and operator of Johnson’s Backyard Garden (JBG), an organic vegetable farm and CSA (community supported agriculture) in Austin, TX. With over 900 members and now almost 70 acres of land, JBG is the largest certified organic CSA in the southern United States. Brenton grew up in Alabama, where he received an agricultural engineering degree from Auburn University. He has been an avid gardener for the past 15 years but has only been farming full-time for the past two years. Brenton’s dream since college was to grow vegetables, and he steadily worked to make this a reality. He first grew in his backyard in 2004, and started a CSA in 2006. Over the past three years, JBG’s membership base has grown to over 900 people. And we are currently taking on new members! Go to www.jbgorganic.com to join today.
