The Brazos Locavores’ mission is to connect local eaters with local
producers in the Brazos Valley, supporting a lifestyle of mindful
eating. The group gathers for monthly field trips to farms, orchards,
and dairies near Bryan-College Station meeting local producers,
touring their facilities, learning more about why eating local is the
way to go, and meeting others who are interested in living a local
lifestyle. Field trips are also a wonderful way to educate our little
ones about where good food originates, so children are always welcome.
