Austin as a Hotbed of Consumer Packaged Goods
May 9, 2019
This article in the Austin Chronicle (March 8, 2019) highlights the latest players in the burgeoning Austin consumer packaged goods (CPG) world. We want the best of these companies to locate in Elgin where we have land, farms and a strong labor force. At the Texas Center for Local Food, we're raising funds now to build the Elgin Local Food Center to provide jobs and opportunities for our region's talented food entrepreneurs.
And yea, we want to help them buy from our Texas family farms! So hey you up and coming CPG companies, drop us a line.
Sue Beckwith (she/her) is the Executive Director of the Texas Center for Local Food (TCLF). TCLF collaborates with organizations across Texas and the U.S. to develop local food enterprises that support Texas sustainable agriculture and job creation. Sue is a former farmer, past president of Texas Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association and was the start up project manager for Jeremiah Cunningham's World’s Best Eggs, sold throughout Texas and for Coyote Creek Organic Feed Mill, the first commercial certified organic feed mill in Texas.
