Ways to Support Local Farmers

Asking the produce manager to stock items from local farms
Sharing with friends and neighbors the importance of buying locally (and where you purchase)
Learning when items are in season so you can plan meals around what farmers have available
Volunteer at a local farm

FLORIDA FARMLINK WAS DEVELOPED BY FLORIDA WEST COAST RC&D IN RESPONSE TO THE NEED FOR NETWORKING WITHIN THE LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM. THE SITE IS DESIGNED TO BE A TOOL FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND CONSUMERS TO CONNECT AND GROW AND EAT MORE LOCAL FOOD. THIS ALSO STRENGTHENS THE AREA ECONOMY THROUGH FOOD-RELATED COMMERCE.
