The Who's & Why's This Farmer sees the need to bring together ALL parties concerned. If you allow me the pleasure of serving you for the next six (6) months to prove a fiscally responsible "Right-Side up, Green, and Sustainable Business Plan to my counterparts here in Collin County, Texas I will in return PLEDGE the following twelve (12) months to EACH and EVERY ONE of you. In the form of contacting new, existing and transiting producers to build OUR LOCAL SAFE FOOD SUPPLY. I am a small local family farmer transitioning to Certified Organic. Our Mission Statement: "Helping people by championing small scale, local and sustainable solutions to reduce poverty, provide a share of the " best of the crops" to the less fortunate of us. Along with promoting healthy communities, preserving the American Farm Families and their farmlands while protecting our natural resources." |
