We believe strong farmers are the foundation of a healthy, resilient food system—essential to our communities, our natural resources, and the future of agriculture.
The Council for Healthy Food Systems is a Texas-based organization working alongside farmers, ranchers, and local food producers to navigate the challenges of a changing agricultural landscape.
We help producers find the resources, connections, and support they need. We do this through technical assistance, mentorship, education, and partnerships. Our work strengthens Texas agriculture and the communities that depend on it.
The Texas Farm and Food Help Desk connects farmers, ranchers, and local food producers with trusted resources and personalized support. From funding and regulations to food safety, business questions, and more—we connect you with the right resources.
