Buying Local
Buying from and supporting local farmers, producers, and businesses is one of the best things we can do for our community, our health, and the environment. Below you will find a list of farmers, producers, and local businesses where you can support local agriculture and enjoy fresh, locally sourced products in Miami-Dade County. If you live in the United States and would like to find local agricultural businesses in your area you can go to LocalHavest.org, an online platform that helps people find and connect with local food sources. It offers a nationwide directory of small farms, farmers markets, and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs, allowing users to search by location to access fresh, locally grown food.
What are Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs?
Some local farms offer a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. A CSA is a partnership between a farmer and the community. In a CSA, people purchase a subscription or “share” of a farm’s harvest at the beginning of the season. In return, they receive regular boxes of fresh, locally grown produce throughout the growing season. CSA members typically receive a weekly or bi-weekly box that may include seasonal vegetables, fruits, herbs, eggs, honey, flowers, or other farm products, depending on what the farm produces.
