The Brazos Locavores will be kicking off our Fall 2010 farm tours with a trip to the Cox Family Farm. This is a new farm for our group to tour! The Cox Family grows a large variety of healthy food in a natural and humane way. During this tour, you will be able to learn about their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) garden share, where you can sign up to receive weekly vegetables. They also have a Cow Share (for people interested in raw milk), grass fed beef, pork, and eggs!
