Celebrating Flavors of the Neighborhood
A community tradition to celebrate the start of Houston’s fresh tomato season!
Thursday, May 14th
Saturday, May 16th
Our fourth annual Salsa de Mayo Festival brings us together during the start of the tomato harvest to share in the bounty of the season and honor the history, culture, and traditions that are infused in the salsas right from our neighborhood.
At the Harvest Dinner, a local chef transforms ingredients grown on our farm into a shared, farm-to-table meal — an invitation to gather with neighbors and enjoy food grown by and for our community!
Thank you to our event sponsors & supporters
Salsa de Mayo is funded in part by the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance

Harvest Dinner

This year we are excited to bring back our Spring Harvest Dinner as part of our Salsa de Mayo celebration!
This is a chance to celebrate the first spring harvest and come together around the table to share a meal with the friends, neighbors and supporters who keep this farm growing.
This year, we are thrilled to announce that this farm-to-table meal will be prepared by Taylor Tucker, the executive chef at one of our favorite local restaurants, Tiny Champions! Co-owner and pastry chef, Julia Doran, will also be creating a unique dessert for the event.

Got tomatoes…?
Every month for the first four years of Finca Tres Robles’ founding, people would drop by the farm asking for fresh tomatoes, including on cold days in the months of January and February. We realized that most Houstonians know very little about our local seasons and unique climate and what vegetables are available when.
It even took us a few years to really begin to understand that November through February can be great months to grow vegetables, and unlike the rest of the country, we prefer to take off June to August because of the “inferno” season, a season of extreme heat that most of the rest of the country doesn’t experience.
Salsa de Mayo is a celebration of what makes Houston, our climate and our community such a unique place and is the beginning of a new annual gathering in our East End community. We can’t wait to get together with our neighbors to share the flavors of our neighborhood and the farm and we hope you’ll join us.
Thank you to our Festival Chairs!
We’re so grateful to have Dra. Melanie Rodriguez and Amanda Trevino serving as our festival chairs for Salsa de Mayo this year. With their leadership, we’ll make this the best festival yet!
