Your hosts, Houston and Sherry, desire to provide experiences that nourish the creativity of artists and enrich the lives of all who enter the gates at Purdon Groves. Over a decade ago they said goodbye to the East Coast and headed west to launch a new office for Houston’s company. They quickly fell in love with the Lone Star State and decided to make it their home. Working with the creative community ignited a passion in Houston for sharing artists' gifts with others. After moving to Texas, Sherry, a freelance writer, found her calling in hosting and fostering a community around the table. Together as husband and wife they create experiences that nourish the mind, body, and soul.

We are a true farm stay! Most of our animals - donkeys, chickens, ducks, sheep, geese - are free-ranging, including our heritage pigs, and are all friendly and approachable.
