Upper Coast Farm Region

The Upper Coast is shaped by its rich coastal plains, fertile soils, and warm Gulf climate that create excellent conditions for growing a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and specialty crops. Farmers throughout the region produce rice, corn, citrus, melons, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and seasonal vegetables, supported by a long growing season and abundant agricultural resources. With thriving farmers markets, roadside stands, local farms, and a strong connection to the Gulf Coast, the Upper Coast offers a diverse selection of fresh, locally grown produce across Southeast Texas.
