WACO, Texas As construction continues to boom on Elm Avenue in Waco, local farmers and gardeners are helping to fight hunger, poverty and food insecurity.
Cynthia Lyons is a farmer at Victory Oasis Farm and Ranch. Three days a week she drives from Hill County to East Waco. I think there needs to be an awareness to the people that live here, and just to kind of let them know there are other opportunities of food to eat other than the fast food and the fried food, said Lyons. We can bring in a variety of fruits and vegetables that are good for you.
