“Teach a man to fish” or in this case, farm – Opal’s Farm

Opals Farm produces organic produce that will be distributed throughout area food deserts and low-income communities, helping restore health and vitality to local neighborhoods. A portion of the fruit and vegetable harvest is sold to local chefs, restaurateurs, and markets to support local farm-to-table needs and to help make the farm self-sustaining.

The farm creates jobs, provides job training, and brings a spirit of entrepreneurship and self-reliance to the local community. The two available acres of arable, urban land connects food production, processing and distribution in the same space. This is basically from farm to plate; which is a win-win for the residents of Fort Worth and a model for other municipalities.
