Ellington Suburban Farm

Ellington Suburban Farm We’re the Whitakers in Celina, TX, turning 3,000 sq ft, half our backyard, into a tiny suburban farm. Our goal? Grow fresher, healthier food right at home.

We have no clue what we’re doing, but we’re learning as we go. Follow along on our crazy journey.

🌿 Soil test results are in… and it’s officially Texas Gumbo.
Sticky when wet, hard as a brick when dry, and packed with minerals — very on-brand for North Texas. 😅

The good news? Nothing is broken or toxic. Our soil just needs compost, the right nutrients, and time to become garden-ready. This is our Year 1 baseline, and we’ll test again next year to see how far we’ve come.

🌱 Follow along as we turn gumbo into good dirt, one season at a time.

🎄 Every farm starts somewhere… and apparently ours starts with one very festive tree.

We may not have crops yet, or beds built, or even a clue what we’re doing 😂…
but we do have Christmas lights and big backyard dreams.

3,000 sq ft of future mini farm.
1 tree absolutely carrying the team. 🌲💪

✨ Follow along as we grow this thing from the ground up — one tiny victory (and one lit-up tree) at a time.

📮 Today we mailed our soil samples to Texas A&M!

We’re sending our dirt to Texas A&M so they can tell us what we’re working with… because honestly, we have no idea. 😅
One tiny step for our mini suburban farm, one giant leap for our backyard dreams.

🌱 Follow along as we grow—literally.
