As the Eastern Texas director for the USDA Delta Regional Food Business Center, TCLF is compiling Technical Assistance (TA) Provider information to share with farmers, ranchers, and food businesses. Your responses will help farmers and food businesses find the technical assistance they need and you will get the clients you want. Our goal is to create a self-serve path to effective and efficient referrals to collectively better serve our regional food systems. TCLF will add your organization to the publicly available Texas Local Food Directory with a summary of your responses to provide transparent information to those we collectively serve.
