At Community Link, we envisioned our freight farm as an extension of our food pantry. A freight farm makes it possible to grow thousands of varieties of crops like lettuces, leafy greens, herbs, roots, edible flowers, and more in just 320 sq. ft. Based on our experience, we recognize the demand for locally sourced fresh food. While we truly appreciate all the donations and contributions, our goal is to offer our community sustainable, enduring access to fresh and healthy food options.
“Food is not just fuel. Food is about family, food is about community, food is about identity. And we nourish all those things when we eat well.”

Let’s Talk Farmers Markets
When thinking about our organization as a whole, the freight farm not only impacts our pantry, but benefits our Saginaw and Azle farmers markets. There is a significant demand for locally grown vegetables in our region, and the freight farm can address this need. As you may know, Texas weather can be challenging for crop cultivation. The freight provides us with the opportunity to grow a substantial amount of crops throughout the year in a
controlled environment.
