Fall on the Farm is Here- Here’s how to connect with us!

by Sarah Weisfeld | Oct 14, 2025 | Grow Food, Make Food, Share Food

The air is getting cooler and fall is here, as much as we could ask for here in Houston. So much is happening at Blackwood and we look forward to connecting with you at one of our two farms, at a dinner or maybe the farmers market.

Skyfarm has started back its Open Farm Days and Volunteer Days. These happen weekly, are totally free to join and a great way to connect with our Skyfarmer, August, and learn firsthand what’s happening on the rooftop. Check out the full calendar here.

Blackwood has returned to Urban Harvest Farmers Market so if you’re looking for farm fresh produce you can find us here every Saturday from 8-12. We also host our weekly Agritourism day on Saturdays in Hempstead, out at our 33 acre landfarm. You might not know this, but our start to farming was on the ground, not the roof!

And lastly, December 5 will be our next Gathered Table Farm to Table Dinner.

If you would like to see what we are up to please sign up for our newsletter or follow us on social media @blackwoodsky.

Skyfarm Celebrates Three Years: Spring Festival Spotlight

by Sarah Weisfeld | May 14, 2025 | Grow Food, Share Food

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.
