STARTING FROM
Solscape is a premier Texas working micro-farm that allows you to live on the land in a highly curated casita. Think of Agri-hood but with a twist. We are the first to introduce a collaborative model where each participant gives 10 hours a month to the farm’s objectives. This may not seem like a lot of time but when you aggregate that over 22 people its 2,640 man/woman hours a year! What are we farming you might ask? Well, Bees are our primary focus but with that come the pollinators, which means food for the people! We work for the bees and the bees work for us.
Interested but not a farmer? No worries! Our farm is geared towards beginners as well as the professionals. In addition running a working farm requires all kinds of skills such as accounting, marketing, organizing and on and on it goes. So bring your skillset and we will fit you in.
On a more personal note we here at STF are passionate about organic regenerative agriculture. Our farm will have zero GMO products. Yet will make sensible choices with a long term mindful approach that will make our water, soil, grasses, plants and trees happy the way God intended it to be.
Interested in learning more? Lets start a conversation. Well share even more about STF, the ethos behind our work, and help you decide if we are the right fit for you.

We recognize that many people today want to start growing food or even have chickens where they live but how does one start? Solscape Texas Farms has created a model with a multi “micro" collaborative farming strategy. Our unique way allows for the leveraging of land costs and human capital. This is achieved by allowing our “micro farmers" to have their own personal housing on the farm. Sharing resources and ingenuity is what our ancestors called it now we call it economies of scale. Farming is now a lifestyle that has been made attainable. Our farming mandate is to start a super efficient regenerative agricultural bee farm, but the vision for our property will expand quickly as our own ecosystem grows beyond just doing honey ranching.
Do you have to live here full time? No. But once you get used to the quiet pace of life, you may just want to join us 24/7.
Current Challenges
Solscape Farms
Beyond being thought leaders in the farming world we're also an innovation lab. This includes our farm casita’s options. We invite you to explore with us some of the newest (but oldest) technology in home construction, from traditional, to tiny home, to compressed earth systems that have been proven for more than 4,000 years. Our casitas footprint is modest but wildly effective. The homes are designed to serve the farm not the other way around. In fact as mentioned before we believe with our model where the farmer lives on site we will outperform the typical farming model. Call us and we can let you know more if you are so inclined.
Have a small home you're considering? Pack your bags and secure your lease. Solscape is a great place for your place.
We work with innovators in this ancient technology for outstanding durability and remarkable efficiency.
For those who prefer traditional construction, we're game. Our approval system is clear and expedited.
At Solscape Farm, honey ranching can be hard work. At the end of the day, our farmers can enjoy our hillside Sweetwater Bungalow for a sauna or cold plunge. The attention to details and building enjoyable experiences among a fully functioning farm sets Solscape apart.
We're just getting started on creating a great place for farmers and their families to enjoy. We've left wide latitude to iterate our farm and its features as farmers join us and bring their own ideas. We're into cultivating the land and innovating the grounds.
We have partnered with one of the greatest thought leaders in central Texas on water. Our Water Genius, Pete, is literally down to earth and wildly knowledgeable about how water works. He not only implements plans to slow water down on the site to reduce runoff, but also has a plan for passively irrigating when the rain isn’t falling. Nothing is wasted and in fact we believe we will find abundance with our smart but simple approaches.
As they say "life is in the blood" - we farmers say that life is in the soil. We will have a long-term strategy to return the soil on the farm back to it’s original design. We could talk for days on this topic, but for now, just know its a priority.
And then there are our bees. Our goal is to create the most abundant ecosystem in Hays county for our bees. Bees have survival needs - and our survival requires bees. We will thrive alongside our bees in pursuing healthy bee conditions and populations.. Fruit and nut trees will be as common as a blade of grass here at Solscape Texas Farms. Wild flowers and pollinating bushes will be frothy. Our bees will never be thirsty because we have an expansive sustainable plan for their water. An hour or so with our pollenator plan, and you'll see what the buzz is about at Solscape Farms.
Solscape Farm is committed to demonstrating and developing best practices and constant innovation. Our planned projects include, but are not limited to:
If Solscape sounds like your perfect piece of Texas, we'd love to schedule a call or tour with you. Leave us your info and we'll get back to you quickly!
