Family Land Heritage

The Family Land Heritage Program

The Family Land Heritage (FLH) program is a recognition program that honors families who have owned and run a continuous agricultural operation for 100 years or more.

Every year TDA hosts a ceremony at the Texas State Capitol to celebrate the families who have passed down their proud Texas legacy from generation to generation and who continue to inspire us with their commitment and endurance.
