There's a great organic produce co-op in the northside.  Their next pick up is tomorrow at 5:30.  You can get more info at jaxorganic.com

Melissa,

Is any of the produce sourced from local producers?

Thanks.

2.  Where does the produce come from?

We purchase all of our produce from Global Organics. They are located in Sarasota, Fl. They are also the same suppliers Publix uses.   

3. Why do you not use local farmers?

Jacksonville has very few certified organic farmers. The ones we do have are not large enough to support our demand. However, we are supporting Florida organic farmers each week.
