How you can support your local sustainable food supply

Choosing to buy local food strengthens the health, beauty and economy of your  community. That’s an important first step. But, there is so much you can do to ensure that local, organic food flourishes where you live.

One of the most effective things you can do is tell your friends and elected officials that local food matters. Government officials make rules for the organizations they hear from. That’s why your tax dollars subsidize industrial, factory farms. Yes, your dollars go to hog lagoons and high fructose corn syrup, not organic, humane systems.

Your voice needs to be heard so small businesses like ours can grow. Small, sustainable farmers in Texas have only one underfunded advocacy group working on their behalf: Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, FARFA.

We can’t do it alone. Please distribute this flier of ideas so others can share your passion for healthy food, greenspace and community:
