Our farm store is stocked with our own TX Longhorn beef and pasture-raised chicken and eggs, plus curated with local products. Enjoy pastoral farm life and our private forest trails, or get out and play in the area's abundance of fine dining, wineries, seasonal attractions, outdoor activities, and entertainment.
The space
Owl's House is a spacious 2-story home set on 100 acres of a historic homestead dating back to the 1740s. Designed by owner and interior designer Kim Grijalva, the design of the interior is inspired by the art of Andrew Wyeth, and incorporates modern and antique furnishings and decor. With 1,200 SF the home provides a spacious yet cozy place to enjoy, plus outside areas like a private deck and garden, a fire pit area, and trails to explore in over 60 acres of woods. We want our guests to come to the farm and immediately feel at home on their farm away from home. A full kitchen includes cooking oils, spices, espresso pods, and tea plus quality cooking tools and appliances.
Get a taste of the local flavor at The 100 Acre Wood Farm Store located on the property. It is open on Sunday 9am to 12pm, and by request from guests, we feature our own forage-fed Texas Longhorn beef, pasture-raised chicken, organic eggs, and a gourmet pantry. We support small-business, small-batch, and fellow farmers. All of our products sold are made in America and include items like virgin Merino wool blankets made in one of the oldest mills in the US, soft and stylish scarves, natural soaps, scents, syrups, our own line of spices and seasonings, jams, relish and more.
