H.R. No. 621 is a resolution honoring Ivy L. Walls of Houston for receiving the 2025 Outstanding Texan Award from the Texas Legislative Black Caucus. Ms. Walls, a third-generation farmer and owner of Ivy Leaf Farms, has made significant contributions to her community by addressing the health and nutrition needs of residents in Sunnyside, a USDA-designated food desert. After earning her degree in biology and working as an infection preventionist during the COVID-19 pandemic, she recognized the lack of access to fresh produce and began growing vegetables in her parents' backyard. This led her to establish Ivy Leaf Farms in 2020, where she cultivates five acres and promotes sustainable agriculture.

In addition to her farming efforts, Ms. Walls has co-founded initiatives such as Black Farmer Box, which provides locally sourced produce to food desert residents, and Fresh Houwse Grocery, a bodega-style business that supports local farmers and serves as a community hub. Through her entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to improving the well-being of her fellow Houstonians, she has become an inspiring example of civic-minded entrepreneurship. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' congratulations and best wishes to Ms. Walls for her achievements and contributions to the community.
