Farm Fort Worth | Faith. Food. Financial Freedom. Building a Sustainable, Faith-Based Food Economy
Farm Fort Worth isn’t just about growing food—it’s about growing people, building community wealth, and restoring faith in self-sufficiency. Through a faith-driven economic model, we are transforming how urban communities access fresh food, create financial independence, and strengthen their spiritual foundation.
Here’s how Faith, Food, and Financial Freedom work together at Farm Fort Worth:
1. FAITH: The Root of the Mission
“The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.” – Psalm 85:12
Faith is the foundation of Farm Fort Worth. It guides our mission, partnerships, and economic model as we:
✅ Steward the land as a God-given resource to feed and sustain His people.
✅ Empower the community with biblical principles of hard work, sowing, and reaping (Galatians 6:7).
✅ Restore dignity by breaking the cycle of dependency and teaching self-sufficiency.
✅ Transform lives through garden therapy, urban farming jobs, and spiritual renewal.
By keeping faith at the center, we ensure that every seed planted serves a higher purpose—providing both physical nourishment and spiritual restoration.
2. FOOD: Growing Our Own to Feed Our Own
“Give us this day our daily bread.” – Matthew 6:11
The Problem: A Community Starving for Solutions
Fort Worth’s 76104 ZIP code has:
• The lowest life expectancy in Texas (67 years) due to poor nutrition.
• No full-service grocery stores within walking distance.
• High rates of diabetes, hypertension, and food insecurity.
The Solution: Farm Fort Worth’s Faith-Based Food System
Farm Fort Worth directly addresses the food crisis by:
✅ Transforming vacant church land into productive farms.
✅ Creating a farm-to-table pipeline that supplies fresh, local produce.
✅ Teaching urban agriculture to the next generation.
✅ Hosting farmers’ markets at churches to make fresh food accessible.
✅ Partnering with local businesses to distribute produce.
From the ground to the grocery bag, Farm Fort Worth ensures food is fresh, local, and affordable.
3. FINANCIAL FREEDOM: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
“The Lord your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.” – Deuteronomy 15:10
Farm Fort Worth doesn’t just feed people—it creates wealth, jobs, and generational financial stability through faith-based entrepreneurship.
