BORN IN DALLAS.
BAR RAISED IN HOUSTON.

Chefs For Farmers is more than a festival — it's a celebration of Texas flavors and community, rooted in purpose.

Founded by Iris Midler in 2010, Chefs For Farmers (CFF) has grown into a multi-location, multi-day food and wine festival where farmers work directly with local chefs, fostering meaningful relationships and expanding business opportunities across the region.

‍Our annual festivals in Dallas and Houston, as well as curated events throughout the year, proudly showcase top culinary talent for unforgettable experiences, while supporting invaluable farmers and producers who grow, harvest, and supply the ingredients that bring culinary culture to life.

‍Welcome to Chefs For Farmers: Texas’ biggest party with a purpose!

Eat good.
feel Good.
