Farm to School & Local Grant

The farm fresh initiative

 

 

 

We are working to create a Farm Fresh generation by connecting local schools with Texas agriculture. Our movement was started by Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller to cultivate an enduring mindset among new generations in which foods are chosen with the knowledge that those choices positively impact not only their own health, but the health of the community at large.

When Texans support Texans we all win.
