Cynthia H. Lyons opened the Victory Oasis Farm in March 2014 intending to produce food for the heart, mind, and body. With hopes to bring the most environmentally-friendly products, she can satisfy the food needs of locavores in Texas, or those who love locally-grown food. They take care of plants as nature would by doing practices like mulching every plant and giving plants rainwater. Aside from that, they handplant and handpick everything to perfection. The farm is also planting a whole 50-ft row of product which they give away to the poor and misfortunate people. Some of the plants they grow are cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, potatoes, lettuce, okra, kale, cabbage, onions, peas, and greens. She sells these naturally-grown hand-picked at Heart of Texas Farmers Market. "Everything was so fresh yummy!"
