There is a wonderful site called Local Harvest (www.LocalHarvest.org) where you can find local growers of organic foods, farmer’s markets, and other resources for sustainably grown food in your area.

We punched in our local zip code and turned up three local growers we now MUST visit (and we’ll provide reviews once we do):

Fawn Run Farms in Oviedo

Fawn Run Farms is a family operated small farm offering fresh eggs and seasonal produce. Our fresh brown eggs are produced by a small but growing flock of naturally raised, free-range hens.

In season, we offer naturally grown produce including tomatoes, squash, onions, specialty lettuces, carrots, beets, and our favorite: fresh blackberries.

Heart of Christmas Farms, LLC in Christmas

Heart of Christmas Farms, LLC is a small hydroponic farm providing locally grown fruit and vegetables to Florida. We are not organic certified, but use organic growing methods to produce the best tasting, healthiest produce possible. We carefully tend our strawberries, herbs, tomatoes, peppers (bell, banana, hot) lettuces and other greens, and other select vegetables and fruit, many of which are heirloom varities. to ensure that you are receiving the best food available.
