International Make A difference Day |
Pictures and information borrowed from the Columbia Climate School in this informative article Why Soil Matters. | "Soil acts as a buffer against pollutants such as heavy metals and excess nutrients. Moreover, soil is critical in helping slow climate change—as the largest carbon sink on land, it stores over three times more carbon than forests and other vegetation." |
All this may seem daunting and overwhelming and you may think that there is no way for you to help. I certainly did and have been learning how I can help.
There are several ways you can make small changes TODAY that will have a big impact.
Our TFM Board President from The Flourishing Times wrote a wonderful guest blog post on the 5 LOCAL ways you can change our future! She also created a Farm to Kitchen Collective to make it easier for families who can't always get out to a local farmers market and have busy lives to be able to have access to fresh local foods weekly.
You can also TAKE ACTION by contacting your local Senator and State Representative and urge them both to support using $10 million of the ARPA funds for a “healthy soils” grant program to be administered by the Soil & Water Conservation Board.

"Allocating $10 million in ARPA funds makes financial sense. Helping farmers cover the up-front costs of implementing these healthy soil measures could help hundreds of them improve their land and save the State and taxpayers many times that amount of money in flood reduction and other benefits."

This is one of the many reason Tomball Farmers Market requires our all our farmers and all other vendors to produce it, craft it and grow it within 150 miles of Tomball, TX.
Supporting our local rural farmers helps them be able to provide a healthy and productive food supply locally using sustainable/regenerative methods.
As our farmers prepare for their local fall harvest we will have several of our produce farmers out this weekend.
