A Blooming Future
A Blooming Future: The 3rd Stop on the Annual Farm Tour
Last Saturday’s annual farm tour by The Seed Project Foundation brought guests on a journey through three incredible North Texas farms—Reeves Family Farms in Princeton, Sunset Trail Farms in McKinney, and finally, our own Water Boy Farms. Each stop gave guests an intimate look at how local farmers are leading the charge in sustainable and organic agriculture. But the third and final stop—right here at Water Boy—offered a glimpse into what’s blooming next.

As the tour wound its way to our fields, guests were greeted with more than just rows of vegetables, cattle, and pasture. They got a firsthand look at our newest endeavor: intentional flower farming. We shared how Water Boy is expanding its regenerative farming practices into floriculture, growing seasonal blooms that will supply local restaurants and venues within Wells Group Concepts, including the renowned Harvest at The Masonic and Rick’s Chophouse.

The highlight of the afternoon came as Scott Keller of Keller Bees gave an educational talk on pollinators. As he spoke about the critical role bees play in the health of both our crops and ecosystems, the surrounding hum of active hives offered the perfect soundtrack. Guests left with a deeper appreciation for bees—not just as honey producers, but as partners in sustainability.

Of course, no visit to the farm would be complete without a taste of what our land inspires. Guests cooled off with this season’s featured cocktail from Harvest at The Masonic: the Left Hook Lenda—a fresh blend of lavender-infused gin, a lavender-lemongrass-basil cordial, and cucumber lime juice. It was the perfect way to end the day—bright, herbaceous, and deeply rooted in the flavors of our farm. Not to mention, cool off!

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We’re grateful to share our land, our story, and our future with such a supportive community.
