Urban American Farmer: Growing Local Food and Relationships in Austin
After completing their farm training, many participants reported a change in mindset about food.

Excerpt:
The inspiration for Urban American Farmer came about eight years ago when Bates began growing food on a quarter acre and selling produce to restaurants. Through her relationships with chefs and other producers, Bates discovered that both groups were using previous growing seasons as guides for their future menus and produce selections. She realized that Austin’s local food system lacked a strong communication network between its different stakeholders.
This led Bates to ask, “What could we grow in the region if we were working together and having these conversations, and planning for the future?” She continues, “that kind of sparked this idea that maybe…our local food system wasn’t fully developed in the ways that it could be.”
She describes how interactions between farmers and buyers are usually brief and transactional.
“There’s not a lot of opportunity for the buyers and the sellers to connect and build those relationships. And because of that, there’s not a lot of understanding about each other’s business,” Bates tells Food Tank. She goes on to say that this can result in “expectations that are unrealistic, or don’t get met on either side.”
