They also have two refrigerator trucks for delivering produce to buyers. Their current base includes H-E-B, Fresh From Texas, and local Markets. Their number of employees ranges from 3-20 people depending on crop and season. Also, Constanzo Farm works with contracted harvesters to meet the growing market.

Gundermann Acres is owned and operated by Garrett and Stacie Gundermann. Originally named Gundermann Farms, Garrett took over running the farm from his parents in 2009. He is a fourth-generation farmer, and, with his wife Stacie, has two children. The farm grows over 90 varieties of fruits and vegetables! Gundermann Farms only used to grow peaches when Garrett’s grandparents were running the farm. In the 1990s, his parents expanded the farm’s operations and grew a variety of fruits and vegetables. When Garrett and his wife took over, they christened the farm Gundermann Acres. These days, with help from real and adopted families, friends, and staff, the farm participates at two Houston area farmers markets – Urban Harvest at 2752 Buffalo Speedway (from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm) and Imperial-Sugarland at 234 Matlage Way (from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm).

Jeff's Aquaponics and Farm opened in November 2012. Since then, the small scale farm has improved through the different mishaps in aquaponics. Before beginning the farm, the owner had a complete hydroponic system. Unfortunately, the whole system was lost due to a hurricane in 2008. It was a blessing in disguise as it allowed the farmer to get rid of the mixing chemicals involved in hydroponics. Today, the farm produces pesticide-dree greens, lettuces, herbs, and veggies that they can offer fresh at the market. Moreover, the farm provides eggs from their happy chickens. Their chickens have lived in pastures for the rest of their lives.
