ABOUT OUR YOUTH-LED PROGRAM
As an entrepreneurship program we practice taking leadership and being well rounded and who plan on building community within our coalition of young entrepreneurs. We are a program to bring back to the community that’s focused on being accessible, affordable, and raising awareness about the communities that are impacted by food insecurity.
Our company’s value as a entrepreneurial, fresh food market, is that we operate at incredibly affordable prices and are accessible to our community, which is classified as a food dessert. Together we are bringing hope to the community by providing a safe and positive space for us to learn and interact with one another.
All while encouraging others to change the way they view our community by showing them the best parts of all of us and how passionate we are about making change.

Austin Harvest fills a significant need in a widely recognized food desert. Originally intended as a single-season pop-up, students were determined to make it a long-term food solution when demand for produce kept the pop-up open well beyond its scheduled closing date in 2020.
Austin Harvest’s permanent building will feature many of the elements of the pop-up market, including the staple orange shipping container and a welcoming patio space to anchor the community. State-of-the-art refrigeration units will enable the students to offer a broader selection of produce while supporting emergency food distribution efforts in partnership with other community nonprofits.
