Farmshare Austin’s mission is to grow a healthy local food community by increasing food access, teaching new farmers and preserving farmland.

They envision a future of resilient local food economies that ensures equitable access to food and to the resources needed to farm.

Farmshare Austin builds bridges between the produce grown on our 10-acre certified organic farm in Eastern Travis County and food access programs reaching food insecure communities in Central Texas.
