Specialty crops, including vegetables, fruit, tree nuts and more, are an important component of agriculture in Texas. The Texas Department of Agriculture works to support over 2,700 growers across the state and create awareness among Texas consumers about specialty crops. The Meet a Farmer project is a informative photo journalistic essay project that introduces Texas consumers to local and regional Texas specialty crop producers. The photodocumentary images will depict producers doing what they do on a typical day on their specialty crop operation.
