[Central TX] Food & Sustainability Events, July 9-15


It is starting to get hot, isn’t it?! I think we all could go for a Green Getaway at Playa Viva’s 5-star eco-Resort. You might just be able to go since all Greenling customers that place an order this month will be entered to win, see details here. Meanwhile, you can make some Mexican inspired, Spicy Cantaloupe Margaritas to enjoy this weekend. For those, that are not visiting the playas lindas de Mexico this week, here are some local events for you and your family to enjoy right here in Central Texas.

About Asiago

Hola a todos! Me llamo Asiago. I am a recent graduate in Latin American Studies from The University of Texas at Austin. I am quite lucky in that hablo español and falo português! During my college years, I've traveled to several countries and realized that food is what connects us all around the globe. I believe that food should be accessible for all humanity. It doesn't matter if you at a street stand munchin' down Tacos al Pastor in Mexico City or sipping on a Brazilian Capirinha on Copacabana beach, we all have a relationship with food and working for Greenling I get to improve food access for my local community!
