Local farming note

Bastrop County's Lost Pines region provides shaded pastureland along the Colorado River that benefits livestock operations during the intense Central Texas summers.

Bastrop County is home to the Lost Pines, an isolated stand of loblolly pines that creates a landscape unlike anywhere else in Central Texas. The county's varied terrain — pine forest, coastal plain, and river bottomland along the Colorado — supports a diverse agricultural economy. Mini highland cattle thrive in the shaded pastures near the forest edge, and Bastrop's location 30 miles east of Austin has attracted a wave of landowners seeking rural property with easy city access.
