Tulia also has a community garden project that allows the citizens to grow and produce their own fresh vegetables.

Through the use of local farmer markets, CSA programs, and community raised beds programs; Tulia has the ability to provide its citizens with fresh local produce that helps support the community.
Another important key asset to commonwealth is health. Health plays an important role in our community as well as in all communities.

Tulia also has medical, dental, and vision clinics all located within town which makes it easy for you to get the care you need without having to leave town. Our small community also has a nursing home to support our elderly citizens, so that their family can see them without having to travel to far.
