HRFTA began when a small group of food truck owners saw a need for an association of like minded entrepreneurs to share best practices, exchange ideas and grow the industry. After that initial meeting, a steering committee was formed to explore creating a group that would support owners, burgeoning chefs and local foodies in the quest for new ideas in food.

A couple of months later, a Code of Ethics was created, By-Laws and with a simple vote of confidence, HRFTA was formed. Monthly meetings are held and membership is open to all food trucks or carts willing to adhere to our code of ethics and share in our love of food and community.
