Grow Southeast is an independent initiative between the Office of Commissioner Roy Charles Brooks, Healthy Tarrant County Collaboration, and CoAct, aimed at addressing food and economic inequities in east Fort Worth. Across the eastside many neighborhoods lie within a USDA food desert. Grow Southeast addresses the gap in food access and farmer representation by developing community owned and operated urban farms in Fort Worth.
