Fresh, Local, NOW! - The changing shape of food availability in Tyler, Tx


  


Written by Carmen Sosa & Jason Reagan - Edited by Michael Hale

  I moved back to Tyler not too long ago and I was dismayed by the lack of access to fresh, local fruits and vegetables. Being a supporter of local farms and artisan food producers I found myself sometimes driving over 100 miles around east Texas to purchase the things I love...fruits, veggies, honey, organic eggs, grass-fed beef, raw milk & cheese, and other farm-fresh goodies. As I built relationships with farmers and shared their information with my friends, I saw the need to compile the information and start getting the community interested in our local food system. So...I created a Facebook group called ‘Fresh.Local.Tasty.’ [exactly as it appears here!]
