The Seed Project Foundation is a North Texas nonprofit doing quiet, meaningful work. Through their McKinney Roots farm, they grow fresh produce and eggs and get it directly to families who need it — week in, week out. They fund local initiatives, support agricultural education, and invest in the long-term health of their community. No fanfare. Just steady, consistent impact.
$703,837+ donated to over 100 local organizations
350 families fed every week
61,000 pounds of produce donated
500+ volunteers, 1,000+ hours given
Every event we produce sources directly from regional farms. That's intentional. We believe local agriculture is worth protecting, and one of the best ways to do that is to keep money in the hands of the people doing the growing.
The chefs we work with aren't just talented — they're connected to where their food comes from. CFF gives them a stage to show that relationship and share it with the people who come to eat.
Each year we choose a charity partner whose values align with ours. Not as a checkbox, but because it matters to us that this festival leaves something behind beyond a good meal.
