An Urban Farm Rooted in el Segundo Barrio
Finca Tres Robles began in 2014 on a longtime vacant property and slowly transformed into a fully functioning farm operation. The farm goes beyond our food to provide opportunities in education, employment, and more. Now, with a historic 40-year lease securing our future, we have a permanent home where we can build the next chapters and expand our impact.
When establishing our first small place, Finca Tres Robles, we wanted to ensure that the food we produce on our farm would be accessible to all people. Small Places has developed innovative and practical ways to get our produce to those in our community who need it while building a foundation of supporters and partners that can help us make that happen.
The farm is meant to be shared by the community and provides opportunities to engage other social aspects of health. We host events at the farm for people of all ages to learn more about where their food comes from, build relationships within the neighborhood, and help strengthen our community.

Finca Tres Robles provides a unique opportunity, particularly for young people, to discover whether a career in farming and agriculture is for them.
We offer a paid Apprenticeship Program for new, aspiring farmers to gain real, hands-on experience in a professional farming operation.
Over the past several years, we have worked with our community to compile several recipes to help Houstonians navigate the seasonal fruits and veggies that come from the field. These recipes are a great reflection of the diverse flavors and creations our community brings to the taste of Houston.
