Congratulations!

You’ve just taken a big step towards creating a more vibrant, sustainable, and resilient foodshed here in the Greater Sarasota region. Here are five things you can do now to make this shift a reality:

  1. Buy direct from local growers. Whether you are looking for vegetables and herbs, fruit, dairy and eggs, honey, or meat and fish, find out who’s got what and where you can get it in our Directory.
  2. Educate yourself about the issues by checking out the many articles posted on the main page of this website.
  3. Start your own garden. Learn from the best, locate supplies, and find a community garden near you.
  4. Donate to Transition Sarasota to support innovative projects like EAT LOCAL! Week and the Suncoast Gleaning Project.
  5. Help spread the word about the 10% Local Food Shift Challenge and Greater Sarasota’s EAT LOCAL! Resource Guide & Directory.

Thank you for your commitment to local food and farming… and bon appetit!
