The
purpose of Wheatsville is to create a self-reliant,
self-empowering community of people that will grow and
promote a transformation of society toward cooperation,
justice, and nonexploitation.
Wheatsville's mission is to serve a broad range of
people by providing them goods and services and by using
efficient methods which avoid exploitation of the
producer and the environment.
The focus of this mission is to
supply high-quality food and nondoctrinaire information
about food to the people in Austin, Texas.

An
annual citywide volunteer event to improve Austin's
parks and greenspaces
Projects, led by neighborhood
groups, individuals, and organizations, range from
simple pruning and painting to highly technical
drainage control improvements. Some groups include
live music, an educational component, a picnic, or
other activities.
From
seed to table, SFC creates opportunities for
individuals to make healthy food choices and to
participate in a vibrant local food system. Through
organic food gardening, relationships with area
farmers, interactive cooking classes and nutrition
education, children and adults have increased
access to locally grown food and are empowered to
improve the long-term health of Central Texans and
our environment.
