Review of Central Texas Farmers Coop by TexasRealFood
Started in September of 2016, A group of young farmers and farming advocates began to meet on a monthly basis to discuss the opportunities and benefits that might be created through working together, rather than in competition. From these meetings Central Texas Farmers Coop was formed that was “jointly owned and democratically controlled by small and beginning farmers” in Hays, Caldwell, Blanco, and Travis county. As a farmers cooperative, they are working together to provide Central Texans with “greater access to an abundant amount of diverse, local, and fresh foods.” The Central Texas Farmers Coop currently operates a multi-farm Community Supported Agriculture program in the Spring and Fall in San Marcos, TX.
