We are SUPER excited to launch our Live Oak Farmers Market in Third Ward, Houston, TX only one block away from our home community garden and orchard at St. Charles Street Urban Community Garden & Orchard. The LOF Market will kick-off at 2509 Alabama, Houston, TX 77004 on October 18, 2025 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and continue every third Saturday of the month.
We feel honored to be partnered with Houston International Cultural Festivals LLC to bring a much needed cornerstone in our journey toward building a sustainable food security anchor in our neighborhood. It’s been a long road to this point but now we’re here! Join us to support the vendors, neighborhood and the food system.

Connect YMCA 2022 Connect Kids Day Celebration & Summer Camp Signup April 23rd
Connect Kids Day is a FREE FAMILY EVENT and is open to the community. ECOTONE World was on-site with our booth providing information about our summer camp opportunity “Community Kids Cook w/ Chef Tarsha” coming to KIPP Academy in July 2022!
The day was open to parents and their students to preview the content of a variety of camp options (30 outstanding choices in all) and to engage with camp presenters, ask questions and get excited about their summer experiences to come. We are happy to have been invited to bring our week-long cooking camp back to KIPP Academy for a second time and look forward to another great opportunity to convey healthy youth food educational outreach.
“Community Kids Cook w/ Chef Tarsha” is a cooking camp provides hands-on culinary training, interactive lectures, printed resources, engaging field trips and direct contact with industry professionals. Special thanks for our long standing sponsor Botanical Interest their seed donations help us make the connection between growing our own food and have the life-skills needed to prepare fresh health meals!
