Haley Allen
I may not have been born in Texas, but I got back to my roots as fast as I could. As an 8th-generation Texan, I’ve always felt a deep connection to this state and love calling it home. I attended Texas A&M, majoring in Biomedical Science with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. Along the way, I realized I could still build a life surrounded by animals—without the years of vet school.
In 2017, I moved back to Fredericksburg to help my family with their vineyard, and that’s where I met Josh. We tied the knot in 2020 in a small but wonderful wedding with our closest family. Our farm started in 2018 with just seven chickens, quickly followed by Southdown Babydoll sheep, quail, and our two rescue horses.
What began as a small venture kept growing, and before we knew it, our little farm had truly come to life. Now, we’re fortunate to live on enough land to support all of our animals—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

I was born and raised in Sweetwater, Texas—home to the world’s largest rattlesnake roundup and the biggest windmill farm on the planet. Eager to explore beyond West Texas, I made my way to Austin, where I attended the University of Texas.
After 14 years in the city, I got tired of working for the man and decided to go out on my own, opening Jack and Adam’s Bicycles Fredericksburg.
In 2014, I made the move to Fredericksburg, and in 2017, I met the love of my life, Haley. After three years of dragging my feet, I finally made the smartest decision of my life—and in 2020, we tied the knot!
Fritztown Farms Story
Fritztown Farms started in 2018 with seven hens and a dream—a dream of self-sufficiency and knowing exactly where our food came from. The excitement of collecting that very first egg after months of waiting was unforgettable.
What began as a small backyard endeavor quickly grew to include Coturnix quail and a few Southdown Babydoll sheep—perfect for maintaining vineyards, orchards, and even our own yard while we were still living in town. For years, our little farm thrived within city limits until 2022, when we found the perfect place to expand. Nestled on 20 acres just 15 minutes from downtown Fredericksburg, our new home gave us the space to bring our vision to life.
From the moment we closed on the property, the real work began—building coops, mending fences, and bringing the land back to life. We were incredibly fortunate that it came with two additional homes, which, with a bit of hard work, we transformed into charming BnBs. These give us the opportunity to share the farm experience with guests, allowing them to connect with nature and our animals in a unique way.
As with all things, our farm has continued to grow and evolve. Today, Fritztown Farms is home to over a dozen rare breeds of chickens, along with ducks, turkeys, guineas, and quail. We’ve also welcomed a couple of rescue horses, mini donkeys, Nigerian Dwarf goats—who provide us with fresh milk—and a guardian llama named Ned. Our original Babydoll sheep now have an important job maintaining our orchard, and they do it beautifully.
One of the most unique aspects of our farm is our Celadon quail. Through years of careful breeding, we’ve established a flock that lays 100% Celadon eggs—stunning blue-shelled quail eggs that are as beautiful as they are rare. These eggs sparked the inspiration for our jewelry line. After seeing so many of these delicate shells go to waste, we knew they deserved a second life. Now, each handcrafted piece carries the natural beauty of our farm, transformed into something truly special.
At Fritztown Farms, we embrace hard work, creativity, and the simple joys of farm life. Whether it’s through our farm-fresh products, handcrafted jewelry, or the peaceful retreat of our BnBs, we love sharing a little piece of our world with others.
