Farmers and ranchers across the Lone Star State will be reaching out to consumers to discuss food and agriculture Feb. 17-23 as part of the Texas Farm Bureau’s Texas Food Connection Week.
To celebrate Texas Food Connection Week, county Farm Bureaus across Texas will host community activities, donate to charities and spur conversations with their neighbors to answer questions about how food is grown.
Established as Food Check-Out Week, the new Texas Food Connection Week was created to connect the people who grow the food with the consumers who eat it and to spur discussions about agriculture and other food-related issues like affordability, nutrition, food safety, animal welfare, profitability and productivity.
