Farmshare Austin - For Aspiring Organic Farmers and Food Insecure Neighborhoods

At Farmshare Austin, our mission is to develop a healthy local-food community by increasing food access, teaching new farmers and preserving farmland. We also build bridges between the produce grown on our 10-acre certified organic farm and food access programs for food insecure communities.

Education:
Farmer Starter is an 18-week program designed to provide aspiring farmers with the essential skills and training needed to manage a sustainable farming business. We also offer community classes and continuing education workshops for working farmers.

Food Access:
Farmshare provides food access directly to neighborhoods experiencing geographic and/or economic barriers to good food by bringing Mobile Farmers Markets directly to them. These farm stands operate as part of the City of Austin’s Fresh for Less Initiative.

We offer produce grown on our farm, produce from other Texas farms and high-quality, shelf-stable food products - all at reduced prices.

Land Preservation:
We are working to develop strategies to improve long-term availability and access to environmental resources required for sustainable farming.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Join us on the farm Friday mornings for volunteer opportunities from 9 am to noon.

Volunteers weed, harvest, plant, wash and pack produce and assist with other activities around the farm.
