Austin’s "Sustainable Food Center" offers nutrition education, organic gardening, farm activities & more
From seed to table, Austin’s Sustainable Food Center creates opportunities for individuals to make healthy food choices and to participate in a vibrant local food system.
Through organic food gardening, relationships with area farmers, interactive cooking classes and nutrition education, we strive to empower children and adults in Austin with increased access to locally grown, healthy and affordable food.
OUR PROGRAMS
SFC's Grow Local program empowers children and adults to grow their own food by offering the education and resources they need to start and sustain gardens at schools, homes and areas accessible to neighborhood residents.
SFC's Farm Direct program connects local growers with schools, urban residents and institutional food service operations worksites in demand of fresh produce through weekly SFC Farmers Markets and direct marketing projects, such as farm-to-cafeteria, farm-to-school and farm-to-work.
SFC Farmers Markets are a vibrant network of markets that connect local farmers and shoppers to ensure local, healthy food gets on their plates at home.
