Texas Farm Fresh
Join the Movement!   
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. Here’s how you can get involved!
