Nonprofit Fellowship Learning And Growing (FLAG) On The Farm is a grassroots organization dedicated to serving local communities within a 50-mile radius of their main location in East Texas. The membership based organization officially launched in March and hopes to build stronger community and easier access to farm-fresh food in Hunt and adjoining counties, including a food hub available to their members seven days a week.

Sandra Green, of Green Family Farms, explains that FLAG’s founding directors believe people have a need to reconnect with farms and farmers directly. “We also believe that God’s creations (animals and plants) were intended to live harmoniously with us, and that we are to be good stewards of the land and in turn, we will be rewarded with nutritious foods.”

FLAG aims to be a resource where people can come, ask questions, learn about farm to table foods and meet other farmers and consumers face-to-face while enjoying a good farm to table meal or just sipping on a hot, fresh coffee or cold, refreshing agua de pina.

FLAG is located at the Green Family Farm, 6266 County Rd. 4708, in Commerce. For more information, call 214-226-0466 or visit FlagOnTheFarm.org.
