Sustainable Food Center cultivates a healthy community by strengthening the local food system and improving access to nutritious, affordable food.

From seed to table, SFC creates opportunities for individuals to make healthy food choices and to participate in a vibrant local food system. Through organic food gardening, relationships with area farmers, interactive cooking classes and nutrition education, children and adults have increased access to locally grown food and are empowered to improve the long-term health of Central Texans and our environment 

Programs

Grow Local empowers children and adults to grow their own food by offering the education and resources they need to start and sustain gardens at schools, homes, and areas accessible to neighborhood residents.

Farm Direct connects local growers with schools, urban residents, and institutional food service operations worksites in demand of fresh produce through weekly SFC Farmers’ Markets and direct marketing projects, such as farm-to-cafeteria, farm-to-school, and farm-to-work.

The Happy Kitchen/La Cocina Alegre® is a nationally recognized cooking and nutrition education program that nurtures skills in food selection and preparation.

The SFC Farmers' Markets are a project of the sustainable food center. Currently, SFC hosts four of the largest weekly farmers' markets in the state of Texas, and hosts more local farmers than anywhere else in Austin!

Visit any of our markets and find: dozens of local fruit and veggie farmers; local cheeses, meats, and eggs; flowers, herbs, plants and soaps; delicious ready-to-eat jams, salsas and honey; SNAP WIC food benefits accepted; cafe foods and drinks for breakfast and lunch, and live music every week.

 Life. Health. Connection. Happiness. Heritage. Sharing. Food is community — it has the power to unite, heal, and bring joy.

Our vision for the future is one of abundance, health, and justice, but we’re up against big odds. America’s food system is in crisis. Industrial agriculture has caused environmental degradation on a massive scale, and corporations pushing processed foods have encouraged widespread sickness and obesity in children and adults. We need your help to grow a strong local food system that benefits us all.

Please consider joining the other amazing individuals, families, foundations, corporate partners and incredible volunteers who make our work possible.
