Family/pet friendly retreat, convenient to Austin, and south central Texas.

Providence Farm was established in 1994…
when Charles and Sarah Nunes sold their computer business in Houston, Tx. and moved to “the country” as a contractor with Tyson Foods, producing fertile eggs for the chicken meat industry. “The country” is south central Texas in northern Gonzales County.

Providence Farm is also a cow/calf operation producing quality replacement heifers and bulls for others in the cattle business. Our mother cows are a mix of Angus and Black Hereford cows yielding lean and tender superior beef for the consumer.

In 2020, Providence Farm branched out to produce “pasture-raised, grass fed, grass finished, no antibiotics, no hormones” quality beef for sale direct to the consumer. Our beef program calls for feeding grass that is grown and organically fertilized on our farm hay pastures.

Also in 2020, Providence Farm further upgraded the quality of beef by purchasing an Akaushi bull to breed to the Angus/Black Hereford cows. The progeny of this breeding will sire the world-famous Akaushi Wagyu mixed calves (grass fed, grass finished) which produce exceptional marbling, world class tenderness, superb flavorful taste along with healthier beef.

In 2020 Charles and Sarah entered the hospitality business by converting a barn into a fully equipped bed & breakfast. The Providence Farm Bunkhouse Country Retreat! This is a perfect place for quiet solitude or family gatherings. The kids love the cows, horses and chickens. And there is great bass and catfish fishing in the pond! Fun for everyone. Bring your own horses to ride the country roads.
