Katy, Texas is the perfect location to participate in the Home Farming Movement! It has a terrific climate and a lot of open space. However, the movement is even adaptable to apartment dwellers that enjoy home grown fruits and vegetables. The movement was initiated by Triscuit, those wonderful crackers made by the Nabisco company. They have a great website to help you get started or to fine tune your existing gardening skills. Topics such as planning your home farm, starting a farm log, a crop guide, watering, spacing, raised beds, soil preparation, recipes, videos, and connecting with others are covered. Texas only has 235 home farms listed out of 53,525 nationwide. And… believe it or not… there are no Katy residents within that number! So, why don’t you sign up and be the first!

Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines “kolache” as “a bun made of rich sweet yeast-leavened dough filled with jam or fruit pulp.”

The Kolache Factory defines “kolache” as “a warm, delicious, slightly sweet fresh-baked pastry traditionally filled with sausage, cheese, or fruit.”

Kolaches originated during the 1700s in Eastern Europe. The Kolache Factory actually features 25 different kolaches, in addition to coffee, strudel, cinnamon rolls, croissants, and other baked goods.
John and Jerri Banks founded the Kolache Factory in 1982 in Houston, Texas. It is currently recognized as one of the Top 5 Drive-thru’s in America, one of the fastest growing companies in Houston, one of the top 50 foodservice bakeries in the United States, and one of the top 20 bakery-cafes to watch.

Go and visit the Kolache Factory on Westheimer Pkwy. In addition to the corporate headquarters, this location houses its research and development department and a retail store! You can also enjoy kolaches at any of the Kolache Factory’s 17 company-owned and 12 franchise stores in Houston.

They do catering, sponsor local sports teams, and recently opened a Cinco Ranch location at 231 S. Mason Rd. (281-398-8700)!

My family has a yearly tradition of going fruit picking. The children look forward to gathering the fruit and the creating delicious concoctions with it, as well as eating it raw. This 33 acre family owned orchard has blueberries and blackberries to pick this May. It is sold by the pound. They also offer tours and bow hunting (call for a reservation), as well as event facilities.
