San Antonio enjoys a semi-arid climate with hot summers reaching 96°F and mild winters around 40°F. The Edwards Plateau's limestone-based soil and Hill Country's river valleys create unique growing conditions. With 220 frost-free days and 33 inches of rain, mostly in spring and fall, farms use both dryland and irrigated techniques.
Spanish missions established San Antonio's first farms in the 1700s, growing corn, beans, and squash. German settlers brought fruit orchards and vegetable gardens to the Hill Country. Today's farms honor both traditions, with many historic properties offering agritourism alongside traditional Texas crops and Hispanic heritage varieties.
Strawberries ripen early in March during Fiesta preparations. Texas peaches from Fredericksburg are legendary, ready by May and June. Summer brings watermelons and cantaloupes, while fall features pumpkins and pecans. Many farms grow Mexican specialties like tomatillos and chile peppers, plus German heritage vegetables that early settlers cultivated.
Farms dot the Hill Country (30-60 minutes via I-10 and US-281) and areas south toward Poteet. Morning visits avoid afternoon heat, especially May through September. Spring and fall offer perfect weather. During Fiesta week and holidays, start early to beat crowds. Many farms are near wine country, making great full-day trips. Some offer live music and authentic Texas barbecue on weekends.
