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).

In its earlier days, Gundermann Acres graced Peachland's landscape, but in the mid-1990s, Garett Gundermann's parents transitioned to growing fruits and vegetables. Today, Garett, a fourth-generation farmer, and his wife Stacie manage the 500-acre farm in Wharton County, Texas. At the local farmer's markets, they offer a diverse array of seasonal produce, including arugula, green beans, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, sweet corn, cucumbers, cauliflower, and kale. Their offerings also include strawberries, melons, and citrus fruits. Catch them mainly at Urban Harvest in Houston and Imperial-Sugarland in Sugarland, Texas.

Knopp Branch Farm supplies its produce to top chefs and restaurants in Houston. Once family owned and operated, it has over the years evolved as a volunteer-operated farm that grows heirloom vegetables and fruits including heirloom tomatoes, eight varieties of eggplant, rare “cheddar” cauliflowers, among others. They choose crops and varieties prized for their incredible flavors. Although not certified organic, the farm follows organic methods and don’t use chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Volunteers are invited to join to obtain hands-on organic farming experience, and learn more about it. One of their primary goals is to teach people the merits and advantages of organic farming.
