480 Pounds of Locally Raised Beef Donated to Our Community through the Falls County Samaritan House!

We are grateful for the opportunity to support local families and give back to our community through Texas agriculture. Farmers Feeding Families is a statewide initiative that brings fresh, nutritious food from Texas farms and ranches to communities in need, with Texas Farm Bureau helping reimburse a portion of the processing costs.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support local families and help fight food insecurity right here at home, and honored to be part of a program that puts local food on local tables and reflects what agriculture is truly about — neighbors helping neighbors.
