A principios de este mes, el Proyecto piloto de danza, bajo la dirección artística de Adam Castaneda, abrió su temporada 2018-2019 con un trabajo site-specific del coreógrafo radicado en Houston. Lori Yuill llamado Cebras verdes. Este espectáculo de danza de inspiración agrícola constaba de varias partes y se extendía por toda la granja, concluyendo con una comida comunitaria bajo los robles donde los asistentes podían incluso pedir bailes especiales de un "menú".

Cebras verdes fue posible gracias a un premio de Arts Respond – Recursos naturales y agricultura subvención de la Comisión de las Artes de Texas y con el apoyo de la Alianza de las Artes de Houston.

Las actuaciones fueron maravillosas y estamos agradecidos a la Alianza de las Artes de HoustonComisión de las Artes de Texas, Adam, Lori y todos los involucrados por organizar este evento único. Apoyar a los artistas locales es importante para nosotros y esperamos albergar más eventos artísticos y culturales como estos en la granja.

In September 2025, we started building out our greenhouse at Finca Tres Robles. In just a few short months, we have been able to grow multiple vegetable varieties and transplant them successfully into the fields, where they have grown and been harvested throughout the fall and winter months! 

How a greenhouse works

At its simplest, a greenhouse captures sunlight and holds warmth, creating a stable environment for plants to grow.

Inside, we manage temperature, airflow, water, and light to give seedlings exactly what they need at each stage.

greenhouses matter for small, high-impact farms

Greenhouses give small farms a head start. They allow us to grow more food in limited space by protecting young plants from cold snaps, heavy rains, and unpredictable weather.

It’s a balance of structure and attentiveness. Less about forcing growth, more about creating the right conditions for it to happen naturally.

How greenhouses help us plan and grow more effectively

The greenhouse is where planning becomes tangible. By starting plants early and in controlled conditions, we can make thoughtful decisions about timing, spacing, and crop succession long before seedlings reach the field. This early preparation helps us use our resources wisely and respond with flexibility as the season unfolds.

For a high-impact farm, this protection means resilience. We can extend our growing season, reduce losses, and steward our land more carefully while still feeding our community.
