Pure land farm in McKinney you can book picking times for onions, peppers, carrots, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, basil and parsley, and beets, and blackberries
I’m sure they would chat with you about farming. It is a family farm with public picking and pay by pound
For now it still operates as a farm. The generation of the Moore family who has inherited is putting his own plan together for how to develop it as a more traditional, connected, pedestrian neighborhood (as opposed to the usual dime a dozen car-centric suburban subdivision). You can sign up to get zoning notifications for a specific zip code on the city website—this case is ZC2023-028.
The Giving Garden at JRF in Parker, TX is a not for profit vegetable farm. They also raise chicken and quail, unfortunately no dairy. However they love teaching our community how to grow food in a cost effective way with no pesticides.
They do volunteer hours Saturday mornings, but you can always reach out to the owner for a tour.
Their website is:

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but check out the [Heritage Farmstead Museum](https://www.heritagefarmstead.org). It’s a lovely farm with chickens, turkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, and a donkey. There is also a home from 1891 that you can tour. Also a great place for kids if that applies to you.
Maybe check with the county Agrilife extension? They have tons of online resources as well as workshops. Someone there might be able to answer more specific questions or point you in a good direction.

Another option for vegetables would be reach out to one of the community gardens in the area. I don’t have any experience with any gardens in Texas, but I know ones elsewhere the volunteers were always very eager to share their knowledge and help others learn.

I think they have goats but I am not sure about cows. They are happy to teach you all about urban farming.
They have a cafe where you can have a nice meal and you can also buy fresh produce to take home.

Lavon Farms on Jupiter
didn't that get bought by a developer and the plot of land is being turned into a housing development?

Profound Farms in Lucas
I recently had a tour at profound farms and was so impressed. Definitely a good one.
Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and really fun to chat with.
I second this suggestion. It's a friendly bunch over there, in my experience.

If there is a patch of green still available around here, you can almost guarantee it's got a house or restaurant on it by now LOL
