Wildseed Farms originated in Eagle Lake, Texas in 1982.
Wildseed Farms was founded by John and Marilyn Thomas after they spent seven years in Eagle Lake working on a family rice and cattle farm.
John Thomas’ knowledge of farming led him to plant wildf lowers initially on his property in Eagle Lake as a fun project.
In 1982, curious passersby noticed his beautiful wildflowers growing on his property. His farm attracted people from near and far, clogging the small roadways in Eagle Lake.
In 1993, Wildseed Farms was created in Fredericksburg on 217 acres with the intention to make beautiful wildflowers more accessible at a cheaper rate for businesses and the residents of Fredericksburg.
Visitors to the farm and market center will see fields of wildflowers blooming from March through October. The farm also offers a boutique, a Lantana Nursery and a Biergarten, with a little bit of everything for the whole family.
Visitors to the farm can explore the walking trails and take photos while sipping on a glass of cold wine or any other refreshment.
The farm also began growing grapes in 2015 to help with the growing Texas Hill Country grape business. The farm now boasts a tasting room, featuring a variety of Hill Country wines.
