Develop Austin Texas

Onion Creek

Sometimes extraneous issues force us to think outside the box when it comes to possible land uses. Our 27 acre pasture-raised egg farm listing is a perfect example of that. At first glance, this property seems like a golden opportunity – 27 acres on some of the best live water in the area and 9 minutes from downtown Austin! The only problem? It’s 90% in the floodplain and there’s really only room for one home on the property. Instead of calling this beautiful piece of property unusable, the owner saw a fantastic business opportunity that not only found a great use for the land but also taps into our green sensibilities. He has free roaming hens and sells pasture-raised eggs. The hens are free of hormones, antibiotics and no pesticides are used on the USDA Certified Organic land. They roam freely, eat off the land and lay nutritious, delicious eggs that are gathered and sold. These eggs can be found at Whole Foods, local Austin restaurants and local farmer’s markets. This property is a great reminder that with a little ingenuity, we can turn something that might seem worthless into a golden opportunity.  Find out more about Vital Farms.
