TerraPurezza at Luck, Texas

Bring your bandanas. Luck is Willie Nelson’s place. Usually folks come here to listen to great live music. We’re beyond tickled to bring our table to the Farm Aid pioneer’s own spread to celebrate what ranchers Tina and Orion are doing here – proving that regenerative farming techniques can work with modern technology to grow good food at scale and maintain harmony with the native habitat. Ranchers Tina and Orion Weldon founded TerraPurezza in 2015 on 5 acres of family land. In 2020, Willie Nelson’s wife Annie invited them to move onto the 500-acre Luck Ranch. The ranch is now home to heritage breed pigs adapted to Texas’ hot weather; Freedom Ranger broiler chickens and laying hens; and Dorper sheep that are doing their very important part in regenerating the rangeland. Guest chef Julien Hawkins knows just what to do with all the nutritious and delicious meat raised on the ranch. He’s the former chef behind Hestia, an award-winning modern grillhouse in Austin specializing in local meat, fish and vegetables cooked over a 20-foot live-fire hearth. This will be a feast to remember beneath the wide-open Lonestar sky.
