FOG received a USDA Community Food Planning Grant in May 2009 to support the process of identifying Gainesville's needs for a more sustainable food system. This one-year planning grant, titled "Community Vision for Food System Development in Gainesville-Alachua County," will bring together stakeholders to discuss local food systems planning. More<<

Gainesville Initiative for Tasty Gardens (GIFT Gardens) builds free raised-bed vegetable gardens for low-income Alachua County residents

increasing their ability to provide for some of their own food needs. More<<
