PRODUCER FAQ 

How do I share my products with your audience and how much does it cost? 

Hey there! Want to get in front of our Florida Farm Finder community? You’ve got two options:

A: Share your goods for FREE in our Facebook group

Jump in and post your farm-fresh offerings, but keep these 3 things in mind:

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

Post smart – share from your business page and personal profile if you can. It helps folks find and trust you.

Be clear – always include your location, delivery area, pickup spots, and pricing. Don’t rely on links or say “PM for details”—just put it all out there for better results!

How can I book Florida Farm Finder for a consult, podcast, event, or speaking opportunity?

Please send us an email at FLFarmFinder@gmail.com with dates and information. We will reply ASAP. 

How do I become a vendor for a Florida Farm Finder event? 

Vendor info is typically available near the top of each Facebook event page that we work with. If it is not available, please send us an email at FLFarmFinder@gmail.com with details about what you sell and which even you are interested in. We will reply ASAP. Please ignore anyone who isnot our host farm or us who may be in the commentary trying to scam vendors. 

What should I share with your audience? 

The best content to share is something from YOUR business Facebook page. We're a food focused group, so try to keep the tractor sales, lost livestock, and internet drama to a minimum. We reserve the right to remove anything at any time to preserve the marketplace. We're not a weapon, and we don't let people use our platform to boost their online rants at the sky. We'd love to hear all about where you started, what you do, what methods you use, and where we can buy.
