Our Impact

Our community does more than help you find food in your region of Florida. We teach people about how to access fresh and minimally processed commodities of all kinds. We help people understand what to expect when buying farm-direct. We provide guidance and instruction for new producers and farm-curious members. We help market owners and resellers connect with reliable local-grown sources, reducing the need for import competition in Florida markets.

Consumer FAQ

How do I find farms and food in your group, and how much does it cost? 

Hey there! Welcome to our Florida Farm Finder community? For accessing farm-direct food in Florida, you’ve got two options:

 

A: Search on your own for FREE in our Facebook group

Jump in and browse our farm-fresh offerings, or post an  "In Search Of" post, but keep these 3 things in mind:

Read the rules – we’re all about local food, so keep posts on-topic.

Post smart – be as specific about your location as possible and clear about the methods and practices you'd like to see used, if you can. Avoid buzz words like "clean" food or "organic", its much better to state any specific practices you'd like to avoid. 

Be clear – If you're looking for a regular source, or need bulk amounts, share that info up front. If you're looking to travel within a specific range, state the counties.
