Our Story

The New Braunfels Farmers Market is dedicated to building a healthy community by providing a Market for local Farmers, Ranchers, Growers, and Artisans to connect with the people of New Braunfels and surrounding areas.

 

We strive to promote local entrepreneurs and their growing businesses by supporting, advertising, and advocating for their success.

​

The emphasis of the New Braunfels Farmers Market is to improve access to local, healthy, affordable food that supports a food-secure community and local Farmers, Ranchers, and Growers.  We also support local artisans who provide prepared food and other products which enhance the diversity of The Market.

Texas Organic Farmers & Gardeners Association (TOFGA) helps

bring Farm Aid COVID-19 Farmer Resilience Initiative to Texas.

 

Texas Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (TOFGA) has partnered with the Federation of Southern Cooperative and several other Texas-based organization to distribute $500 emergency relief grants to help farm families in Texas who were impacted by COVID-19. The funds are provided to help farmers meet household expenses. There is no deadline to apply, although applications are reviewed as they are received and there is a finite amount of funding available.

 

Family farmers are eligible based on the following criteria:

​

  1. a substantial portion of the family/ household income comes from agricultural production

  2. the family is actively engaged in day-to-day farm management and labor

* Preference will be given to the farms that have the highest need.


* Only one grant is allowed per family/farm operation.
* Rural residents who obtain a small portion of their household income from agricultural products are not eligible. This includes people who are not selling agricultural products (i.e. who are producing primarily for their household consumption) and those who rely primarily on off-farm income.
