Eat Green DFW Southern Tour Travel south of DFW with Food Roots on Saturday July 11 for a one-day tour to three of Eat Green DFW’s selling producers. JuHa Ranch, Oak Grove Farms and Garden Harvests are each family owned and operated. They are different in size and focus and their contrast shows us the diversity of small North Texas agriculture. Learn first hand about these farmers who are dedicated to bringing sustainably grown produce, meat and dairy products to our community using organic and natural methods.
