Nourish, an initiative focused on Bastrop County's food system, emphasizes the interconnected network of food production, distribution, and consumption for the well-being of the community. Despite being a mostly rural county, only 5.3% of the food grown locally is sold in markets, a challenge Nourish aims to address by increasing local food sales. With a mission to create a healthier, sustainable, and just food system, Nourish envisions a community-based effort that brings together diverse stakeholders and residents to foster a sustainable and nourishing food environment for current and future generations.
