About the Market
Background
Citrus County Locally Grown was established to bridge the gap between local consumers and growers, offering a platform for purchasing fresh, chemical-free produce directly from local farmers. The initiative aims to provide an alternative to conventionally grown produce, which often involves the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Practices
The market exclusively features produce that is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, emphasizing the importance of chemical-free farming methods. By focusing on local produce, the market also supports the reduction of fossil fuel consumption associated with long-distance transportation of goods.
The Rest
The market encourages even small-scale gardeners in Citrus County to participate, highlighting the economic benefits of growing and selling chemical-free produce. This initiative not only promotes healthier lifestyles but also fosters a sense of community and local economic resilience.
