Bandera County farmers help connect their farms to community

Farmers in Bandera County will have their chance to reach out to the community and talk about how our food gets from the field to your fork during Texas Food Connection Day.

Farmers in Bandera County will have their chance to reach out to the community and talk about how our food gets from the field to your fork during Texas Food Connection Day.

Farmers and ranchers across the state organize community activities, donate to local philanthropies, and seek to spur conversations with others during Texas Food Connection Day. Bandera County Farm Bureau hopes to connect with local consumers by donating to our local food pantry “Bandera Helping Hands.”

“Texas Food Connection Day is about sharing what we do on our farms and ranches to grow our food,” said Booker Young Bandera County Farm Bureau president. “Many people want to know more about where our food comes from and how it’s grown. This event gives them a chance to have their questions answered by local farmers and ranchers.”

Although Food Connection Day is only held once a year, county farmers are open to having more conversations about their farm practices.

“We work hard to provide families with fresh, nutritious and affordable food, and we feed our families the same foods that consumers buy in the grocery store,” Booker said. “Modern agriculture is sustainable and has made many advancements. We’re proud to be part of Texas agriculture and our community.”

Texas Food Connection Day was established to connect farmers with their consumers and spark conversations about agriculture and food-related issues, including affordability, nutrition, animal welfare, profitability, and productivity.
