Texas farmers and ranchers will reach out to customers to talk with them about issues of food and agriculture this week during Texas Food Connection Week, a statewide program sponsored by Texas Farm Bureau (TFB).
Members of county Farm Bureaus across the Lone Star State will organize community activities, donate to local philanthropies and spur conversations with their suburban and urban neighbors to answer questions about how their food is grown.
Formerly Food Check-Out Week, Texas Food Connection Week was established to connect farmers and ranchers with consumers and initiate discussions about agriculture and food-related issues, including affordability, nutrition, food safety, animal welfare, profitability and productivity.
TFCW continues through Saturday, Feb. 22.
