Fair Oaks Ranch was recently ranked the 5th safest city in Texas and the safest in the San Antonio area by SafeWise, based on the latest FBI crime data. Strong community involvement, quick emergency response, and a high quality of life continue to make it one of the most desirable places to live in the Hill Country.

Thinking about moving there? Our partner Charley Wasson with Sunflower Real Estate is a Fair Oaks Ranch resident who knows the neighborhoods and the local market inside and out.

There are side pots for heaviest boar, heaviest sow, and longest tusk, trophies and gift certificates up for grabs, and top prizes go to the heaviest 3 hogs.

If you’re looking for a quick, healthy pick-me-up around town, our partners at Boerne Sips Nutrition have you covered. We stopped in yesterday and tried the Chocolate Oreo protein shake, which packs 24 grams of protein, only 250 calories, and 21 essential vitamins into one seriously good drink that tastes more like dessert than a health shake.

Fair warning though… it’s so good the kids might steal it before you finish it. Whether you need a post-workout boost, a quick breakfast, or just something tasty that’s actually good for you, this spot hits the mark.
