Happy Birthday to our dear Skyfarm, located on the rooftop of POST in Downtown Houston. Three years ago, we set out on an endeavor to grow food on a roof in one of the hottest cities in the country and let us tell you what a learning experience it’s been. We thank all the farmers and hands that have touched this soil and the many plants to celebrate this milestone. This is one of the farms Blackwood manages, the other one is out in Hempstead, about an hour outside of Houston.
On May 4, 2025, Skyfarmers Market hosted our Spring Festival, celebrating the Skyfarm with organized farm tours, local produce and more. Other activities at the market included making seed paper, drinking fresh brewed herbal tea made by our local Skyfarmer, August and cooking demos.
The Skyfarmers Market offers a twice a month, synergistic opportunity for small business owners and people visiting downtown Houston. People connect, learn, support each other and find tasty one of a kind culinary treats and beautiful crafts. The market happens indoors in the Z Atrium of POST Houston.
If you are looking for farm experiences or community and you like food we’d love to have you out on our farm. We invite you to check out the Gathered Table Dinners with Chef Cade and the many other programs and events we offer.
✨Friday, Oct 3, 2025- The Gathered Table Dinner, Where every bite tells a story of our land, our community, and our love for good food. Ticket page coming soon.
