Honorable Mention
The Central Texas Farmers Cooperative's mission is to provide community-supported agriculture to Central Texans. Formed by a group of first-generation farmers and farming advocates, the Cooperative operates a small farm CSA program in the Spring and Fall out of San Marcos.
The Cooperative also provides training, networking, and work opportunities for beginning farmers who would like to start new farms or expand their existing enterprises.
The honorable mention highlighted the Cooperative's wish to invest in new coolers to add a second pick-up location for the CSA immediately and to invest in business consulting with Austin Foodshed Investors.
