Down to 9 button quail left. 🐣 We didn’t expect to move through this batch as fast as we did, but here we are, just 9 remaining and looking for their forever homes or farms 🏡.

🎶 Happy chicks 🎶 felt like the only soundtrack that fit for these little guys. Button quail have been raised on farms and homesteads for generations because they’re quiet, hardy, and easy to love, and this bunch has proven that out from day one.

If one of these 9 is meant to be yours, don’t wait on it. Call us at 979-826-2688.

🎃 Pumpkins are on the shelf! 🎃

That's the whole announcement, but we know half of you are already planning your porch display. This is one of those small windows every year where the market fills up with families picking through the pile together, and that's really the best part of the whole season for us. 🧡

Come by, take your time, and let us know if you need help picking the right one for pie versus the right one for decoration. They are not the same pumpkin. 🤭🥧

Give us a call if you have questions at 979-826-2688

There’s a project brewing in the incubator at DiIorio Farms 👀

Something small, speckled, and about 20 to 25 days out from hatching. If you’re the kind of person who already knows what lays fast, eats little, and doesn’t need much room to be happy, you’re probably guessing right.

We’ll keep you posted. Give us a call at 979-826-2688 if you want to know more before everyone else does.

Today, we had the pleasure of showing Great Day Houston around the Market this morning for National Watermelon Day and talked about what seven decades on this farm actually looks like: early mornings, unpredictable weather, and a family that kept planting season after season because that's just what you do when you’re a farming family.

Full segment below with James, Brian & Walker DiIorio. If watermelon season means something to your family too, tell us about it in the comments.

Episode Seven. The last chapter, and somehow the hardest one to write about.

Carsyn, Luke, and Teagyn Austin asked the questions this time, closing out a series that started with one simple idea, let Angelina tell her own story, in her own words, to the family she built it for. Seventy years of watermelon fields, flower shops, hard mornings, and a whole lot of love got poured into these seven episodes.

Thank you to everyone who watched, shared, and sat with us through all of it. This family has seventy more years in us, and we can’t wait to show you.

70 Years, 7 Chapters, One Family Story. Watch the full series in our reels section!

Episode Six is here! 🍉

Bristol and Cole Schmidt sat down with their great-grandma Angelina DiIorio and asked her who actually designed the farmers market we all know and love today. Then somebody asks her about cheerleading, what the grossest thing she ever touched was, and somehow we end up at the White House. This one is a wild ride, so buckle up.
