The conference for anyone who enjoys growing and eating local food — in Texas and beyond!


The Southern Family Farmers & Food Systems Conference is an annual event jointly hosted by the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, Small Producers Initiative at Texas State University, and Council for Healthy Food Systems.

Our three-day conference will energize and inspire whether you’re brand new to farming or have been doing it for years. We are committed to bringing relevant, farmer-driven information to the small- to medium- scale agricultural community in Texas and surrounding Southern states.
