What's Good in
the Agrihood?

Introducing Harvest Green, Houston's first edible community

Neighborhoods are popping up across the country, but they aren't being called neighborhoods anymore - they're agri-hoods - because they're planned around working farms that serve the community and the tree-lined streets might have something for you to munch on. Now Houston has one to call it's own. Come learn a little more about Harvest Green, Houston's first edible community, from Scott Snodrass, co-owner of the Edible Group, and the role residents can play in creating healthy places. RSVP required to attend.

Scott Snodgrass is Co-Owner of The Edible Group, a family of companies spanning multiple industries related to the production and consumption of sustainable food. Scott's time in the garden center, restaurant, landscaping, certified organic farming and education industries has led him to be passionate about local food systems. He believes that local food production on both residential and agricultural scales are critical to the health of our city. 

Please bring your own lunch and join us for this important discussion!

Put 'em on your calendar
The Houston Food Policy Workgroup is open to all people involved in the 13-county Houston region's food system, from local farmers to elected officials to chefs to health professionals.

We meet every month normally on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 11:30 am - 1 pm. Every other meeting is focused on furthering progress on the core goals of our current Action Groups.

Four times a year, we replace the normal monthly meeting with a special traveling meetings, where we go straight to the agricultural and food assets of the region, such as visiting farms, restaurants, seafood operations, or production facilities. These meetings are usually on Fridays.

Our Mission

The mission of the Houston Food Policy Workgroup is to nurture the growth of a sustainable local food system, accessible to all, through education, collaboration, communication, and creation of a food policy council for the Houston region.

Our Vision

Our vision is a vibrant food system providing abundant nutritious and responsibly produced food for the entire Houston-Galveston region.
