Texas Center for Local Food

Texas Center for Local Food We are a non-profit organization developing healthy local food systems. Gro-ACT and TCLF are both run by farmer majorities. Our Goals

1.

We provide education and technical assistance to support rural economic vitality based on Texas agriculture. The Texas Center for Local Food was founded in 2016 and is a project of the Growers Alliance of Central Texas (Gro-ACT). The Growers Alliance of Central Texas is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Be a primary point of contact for resources and referrals related to our Texas food system.


2. Stimulate creation and retention of quality jobs in rural and semi-rural Texas.

3. Catalyze and develop new markets and infrastructure for products that are both Texas grown and Texas made.

4. Support development of a robust Texas grown food system that is equitable and healthy for people, animals and the planet.
