Interested in learning more about growing your own food? The Fort Bend Master Gardeners is the place to start.

They have classes, a help line, programs and great resources to help you decide what to grow in our area.

This non-profit association of growers, farmers and ranchers has mission to promote organic agriculture and help connect farmers directly with consumers. They have a wealth of information and resources available to help the local farmer or rancher, including clinics, seminars and networking with other, like-minded farmers.

The USDA's Organic program is not the only certification program for farmers that want to grow without using conventional pesticide programs. While the Certified Naturally Grown program is based on USDA Organic Standards, the CNG program is on-farm inspection based, rather than "fee & paperwork" based.

Also, their livestock standards make a lot more sense. Check them out.

The Creekside Farmers Market is located on the beautiful 15-acre campus of Creekside Christian Fellowship. Through their help, sponsorship and volunteer resources, we now have a market!

Creekside has many other projects and volunteer opportunities, all designed to make a real difference in our community.
