In collaboration with Farmshare Austin,  Hope Full Farm, Green Gate Farms and Urban Roots, the Central Texas Farm Incubator Collaborative provides beginning farmers in the start-up phase of their business with access to land, infrastructure, mentorship, business training and marketing outlets to bridge barriers to starting and sustaining a farm. 


Incubator Farmers will be able to lease up to a half acre of land for up to 3 years at one of the Collaborative farms, along with access to the tools and infrastructure necessary for successful specialty crop production, including irrigation, propagation greenhouse space, cultivation tools, produce wash station and cold storage space.
