Your guide to becoming a citizen of our fair Gainesville, not just a consumer...
1 Shop weekly at your local farmers market or farm stand. Visit downtown Gainesville's Union Street Farmers' Market.
2 Join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and get weekly deliveries of the season's harvest. Find local CSAs at Local Harvest.
3 Buy from local grocers and co-ops committed to stocking local food, such as Ward's Supermarket.
4 Support restaurants and food vendors that buy locally produced food.
5 Preserve food from the season — freeze, can, dry — to eat later in the year.
6 Throw a "Locally-Grown Party" and serve all local food.
7 Grow your own food in your yard or community garden plot.
8 Visit local farmers and "u-picks".
9 Ask your grocer or favorite restaurant what local foods they carry.
