Farmer Opportunity! Local Food Procurement Assistance
August 3, 2023
Hey Texas farmers! Are you an experienced farmer interested in selling wholesale?
The Local Food Procurement Program (LFPA) is a new opportunity to sell to The Common Market Texas. The Common Market is a values-based food distributor out of Houston. They buy only Texas-grown products, mostly vegetables and distribute to schools, hospitals, and others.
When you sell to The Common Market, you will have a consistent sales outlet for your products and you retain your own farm brand identity. You'll also be selling to a distributor who shares your values of equity, fairness, and environmental sustainability.
