A Day With Grow North Texas and FARFA - Tyler

Local food producers in the Tyler area are invited to join Grow North Texas and Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance in a day of learning. You may register for all or any part of the day's events:

10 a.m.-12 p.m. Grow North Texas Workshop* -- Cottage Foods and Local Food Regulation. This workshop will cover the Texas Cottage Food Law in detail, for producers who want to make food in their home kitchen (rather than a commercial kitchen). Learn what & where you can sell, as well as get more information about common concerns like advertising, sampling, and insurance. The workshop will also cover state laws on selling eggs, meat, and other products (note that local regulations on these topics may differ).

12-12:30 p.m. Lunch provided by FARFA & Grow North Texas

12:30-2:30 p.m. FARFA's "Raise Your Voice"* town hall/listening session for small farmers and local food producers, led by Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance Executive Director Judith McGeary.

2:30-3 p.m. Advocacy training session providing you with tools for effective communications with elected officials and for inspiring change.

*The Grow North Texas Workshop is supported by a grant from USDA; FARFA's Raise Your Voice program is support by grants from Farm Aid and Clif Bar Family Foundation.
