Recently, I read an article in one of the local weekly newspapers about an Organic Produce Farm where you could sign up and have a basket of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs delivered to your house. I wish that I had kept the article because I cannot remember the name or contact information. Does anyone know of this farm? Have you used their services? Would you share that information with me? I enjoy cooking healthy and delicious foods for my family and have been disappointed with the quality and types of fresh produce in the area grocery stores.
Hi Kara,
If you do find one, please let me know also. I live in seffner and sometimes I go to pick up stuff at local farms. I am not really a big cook or anything, but I am vegetarian by choice and my kids eat almost all veggies and fruits.
Thanks

I have heard about a new store thats opening in the tampa area thats called alida. I think thats the name of it. They are opening sometime in sep and sell organic products. I wish I knew about this delivery service that you are talking about. If anyone does know about it let me know too!
Sweetwater Farm is near airport. There's AquaOrganics (____@____.com) near you, I believe.
good luck!
Hi Kara! I was just at the new Hydroponic Stand off of Lithia-Pinecrest and Fishawk Blvd and they told me that they have that service available. I think it's $25 a week. They have nice fruits and veggies, but I did find that they are a bit over priced. Possibly because everything is grown with the Hydroponic Method rather then in he ground.
I hope this helps!

yes! I too have heard about this farm and I'm trying to find out more info on it for your exact same reasons! I heard that you buy into shares of the farm (around $500 a year) but then you get a bag of produce each week! I think that price is a steal for organic, fresh produce.
I think the name is Sweetwater, or SweetGarden, somthing like that.
If I find out the exact info, I'll pass it along. Or, if you get the info, would you please email me?
Thanks so much!
K.
