In South Florida and other parts of the Sunshine State, farms are selling produce to the public.
The Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association offers a list of participating farms. But before shopping, the site suggests verifying supply availability, preferably on the Facebook page of the farm you are interested in, or phoning. Get more details online.
Additionally, the Florida Department of Agriculture site has added a “Florida Farm to You” section where you can search for farm-fresh items, including milk and seafood. Call 800-HELP-FLA for more information.
