About the People

Meet Sheron, Farm Co-owner and Your Hostess

I know, I know – you are thinking there is a typo in my name, but there isn’t.  Just pronounce it Sharon.  What can I say?  My Mom was reading a Russian novel with a Sherron in it, and that’s how I got my name.

I have loved living on the farm and sharing it with my guests from all 50 states and 26 countries for 12 years.  I have met and made many friends through the years.

Farm tours

One of my favorite activities is giving guests farm tours in a Polaris, an off-road vehicle which seats six.  I show them how to access the river and the best fishing spots, the many fossils in the wide limestone banks; the animals and their feed with instructions on feeding them, hiking areas.

During the tour they learn a little of the history of the farm and family, about the wildlife and birds that also live on the farm, and about many of the edible plants growing on the farm.

There are notebooks in each home with the history of the farm, how it was built, and of my parents.  Guests tell me they really enjoy reading and learning about the farm – it makes it more than just a place with a bed!

After I retired from a career in the insurance field I wanted to give back to my community.  For 15 years I ran a cooking program at my church where we prepared and delivered meals once a week to our sick, shut-ins, or anyone in need, including many homeless folks.

I have volunteered at a local charity, The Caring Place, for 17 years and am proud to serve on the Board of Directors.  The Caring Place provides support, food, clothing, medical and/or rent assistance for our neighbors in need.  $1 per night spent at the farm is donated to the food pantry at The Caring Place.  We held a fundraiser at Scurlock Farms and raised $10,000 for TCP.

I have been a member of P.E.O., a women’s philanthropic educational organization that provides scholarships and grants to women in need.  We held a fundraiser at Scurlock Farms for P.E.O. and raised $6,000 for scholarships.

Dan asks when I will slow down and really retire, and I told him never!  I love giving back and helping others when I am able and learning new things – which I continually do running the farm stay business, and I am very happy with what I am doing.  I feel lucky and blessed to be able to do it.

I told Dan I feel like I have four families –  my blood family, my church family, my Caring Place family, and my P.E.O. sisters.  My guests and friends made through the farm stays could be an extended fifth family!

Peaceful Palette Pad Bliss

We were looking for a getaway that wasn't a two to three hour trip away from Round Rock. We found Scurlock Farms and decided to book our trip through Air BnB. Sheron called us that day and let us know that they had their own website where we could have booked for a lot cheaper. I canceled and booked directly through her! She saved us almost $100 (that's true customer service). We arrived at the beautiful Palette Pad, and made ourselves at home. It was very cozy and we lit a fire in the fireplace to enjoy the ambiance as we read up on the history of the house. Sheron called and came down to bring us some necessities (coffee and matches) , she gave us a rundown of the entire place and gave us tips for finding arrowheads (which we actually found one!). The San Gabriel is a short walk through the pecan orchard and it was incredibly peaceful to sit and watch the river go by. Scurlock Farms also has a small roadside stand where the sell delectable chocolate covered pecans, jams and salsas. They had run out of fresh eggs, but Sheron said she would grab what the chickens had laid and brought them by the Palette Pad. I can't not say enough about the wonderful hospitality of the Scurlock's and how beautiful the farm is just 30 min outside of town. I would absolutely stay here again and plan on it in the near future!
