Blackwood is a non-profit, 33-acre teaching farm with a variety of crops, laying hens and bees. Their goal is to model how regenerative agriculture practices can positively impact the planet and also improve our food system in the process. Blackwood serves the community through summer camps and field trips to empower local youth and a thriving CSA program that serves both Houston and Austin. Our farm tour will tell you even more. You might leave inspired to start gardening or invest in an apiary. Sasha Grumman is an OITF veteran who’s cooked with us up and down California on the crew of several restaurant teams. Now she’s based in Houston and this is her first time calling the shots in the field kitchen. Sasha spent much of 2020 focused on focaccia and filming Top Chef 2021. She’s fierce, and we love her!
