3 Oaks Farms

Moringa – Is a highly functional food rich in bioavailable minerals, vitamins, all 9 essential amino acids, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds.

But the nutrient quality of a leaf is only as good as the soil it’s grown in, we are proud to offer moringa which is locally grown, hand-planted and hand-picked on our farm using sustainable, organic practices. we shade dry the leaves on-site to ensure the nutrients remain intact.

As a dry leaf it can be brewed as tea, in powdered form it’s easily incorporated into smoothies.

OUR STORY

Five years ago, my brothers and I started one of the only urban farms inside the 610 loop and have what Houstonia magazine called one of Houston’s “hidden gems”, Finca Tres Robles (www.fincatresrobles.org)

We grow organic produce on 1.5 acres in the 2nd Ward. We have a CSA, farm-stand, participate in UrbanHarvest’s Saturday Farmer’s market, train farmers, and host field trips, classes, pop-up dinners, workshops, and private events.

You don’t do this work unless you love it and that we do! Which is why we’re super excited to be creating a spin-off business, 3 Oaks Farms to expand on the growing interest of the Moringa tree which we’ve been cultivating for the last 4 years. A native to India, Moringa is being called a super-super food. High in vitamins A and C, iron, potassium, calcium, a complete plant protein and more, we sell a dried powder and dried tea blends from the leaves and eventually will expand to beauty products and baked goods.

We cultivate over 200 trees on our urban farm, hang dry and process all ourselves and are one of the few commercial producers in the U.S. and the only in the Houston area.
