Mother Nature is a powerful partner in our garden. We will harvest, taste and plant edible flowers and herbs, make crowns and garlands of marigolds and learn how to make tamales.

DELICIOUS ALCHEMY BANQUET
NOVEMBER 13, 2023 at 7:00 in the evening
We have long celebrated gathering around a beautiful table for a meal among friends, the hallmark of our Delicious Alchemy Banquet, which is limited to just 80 guests. As Houston’s torrid summer melts into a beautiful autumn and the feasting season begins, there is no better place to congregate than our bucolic Hope Farms in the heart of the city.
We will gather on Monday, November 13 for our spectacular Delicious Alchemy Banquet featuring ten exquisite courses celebrating Houston’s rich culinary diversity, crafted by ten extraordinary chefs, in a glorious pastoral setting—or as the Chronicle says, “the ultimate dinner party.” We hope you will be there.
THROW YOUR OWN PARTY AT HOPE FARMS
We would be honored to help you throw a very special private party using our charming farm as your perfect venue. Our location is especially convenient for your guests, since we are just two miles south of Loop 610 in the heart of Houston.
