Community Initiatives
The Common Market Initiatives in Texas
The Common Market leads and collaborates with diverse partners to improve food access and build health and wealth in communities throughout Texas. Below is a list of our current initiatives including local food programs and partnerships in the Lone Star state!
GO TEXAN
Did you know? The Common Market Texas is an official GO TEXAN Partner! For over twenty years, the Texas Department of Agriculture's GO TEXAN program has been dedicated to showcasing products and businesses made right here in the Lone Star State.
As always, we take great pride in connecting our communities to some of the best, most nutritious foods Texas has to offer.

Community Farm Stands
To bring a farm stand to your organization, please contact our outreach team at txsales@thecommonmarket.org.
A farm stand is a temporary, on-site set up of fresh local foods for sale at your hospital, school or community organization. The Common Market Farm Stand is a completely flexible program where you can choose when your farm stand runs, how often, and what local products are best suited for your community members.
The Common Market Farm Stand program can:
• Help your organization plan and organize an on-site farm stand
• Supply seasonal ordering and pricing tips and promotional materials to get the word out
• Deliver fresh, sustainable, local products directly to your location!
Food Access Fund
To become a partner in our program, please contact texas@thecommonmarket.org or (832) 356-5011 ext. 61.
The Common Market seeks partners to join us in making good food accessible and affordable. We can provide a 25% discount on good food purchases to qualifying organizations that are:
- Mission-driven (nonprofit/501(c)3 or social enterprise) and community-based
- Committed to expanding food access, building health and wealth and/or alleviating food insecurity
- Led by and/or works closely with community members most impacted by limited food access with a goal of leadership development and/or food sovereignty
- Majority of food purchased with discount goes directly to community members most impacted by limited food access
- It might be difficult for this organization to source from The Common Market without this discount in place
