Sister Grove Farm

Van Alstyne, Texas

Restore, Learn, Inspire

Overview

Sister Grove Farm is 149 acres of rolling blackland prairie just 45 miles north of Dallas. Nestled along the east prong of Sister Grove Creek on the ancestral lands of the Wichita people, this patch of earth is now cared for by Rodney and Sarah Macias as a regenerative farm and small retreat center.

The land was once owned by Collin McKinney, oldest signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, and an 1859 farmhouse (restored as one of our accommodations) was home to his son and daughter in law, Younger Scott McKinney and Sarah Janes McKinney. The farmhouse can accommodate up to 9 people but is also perfect for a solo or couple's get-away.

In addition, two communally designed guesthouses can each comfortably accommodate up to 16 people.

Access to an indoor group-use space which can hold 50 people is complete with commercial kitchen and everything needed for meetings and dining.

Using holistic grazing and regenerative approaches to agriculture, Sister Grove Farm raise grass-fed cattle and sheep along with heritage breed chickens. Joining us in these tasks are two livestock guardian dogs and one barn cat.

At Sister Grove, our mission is to "grow and raise a diversity of plant and animal species for food and beauty in such a manner that the land is healed along with all who visit and live here."
