The couple Steve and Cat Elliot are the people behind the freshly- and hydroponically-produced greens at Elliott Grows. Through hydroponics, they can grow nutritious vegetables fast. Currently, the farm sells greens like arugula, mizuna, sorrel, purslane, watercress, and spinach. They also offer four varieties of lettuces (butterhead, crispy greens, red oak, and green oak) and three kinds of basil (Genovese, lemon, and Thai). However, if you want other varieties that they don't sell yet, the farm owners are very accommodating to requests. Just send them a message. They are very much willing to try different plants.

Shines Farm Stand boasts the finest locally sourced produce that keeps restaurateurs coming back for more. Over two decades ago, Charlie Blaylock and his wife made their home on a property with a barren 1.3-acre backyard that was initially dry and unforgiving, seemingly incapable of sustaining life. However, through Charlie's unwavering dedication and hard work, the once-sterile soil was transformed into a fertile haven. Chef McCook of Ellerbe Fine Foods is an avid admirer of the farm. "Charlie's passion shines through in his produce. I always have confidence in the exceptional quality of his offerings." Today, Shines Farm Stand features an expansive 8,400 square-foot garden brimming with a variety of nutritious plants. "Charlie cultivates the area's finest vegetables! Visit Cowtown Farmers Market to witness it for yourself!"
