Where We Make a Difference

Food safety education is essential for farmers navigating the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), yet traditional training formats are not always accessible.

The Florida Farmers’ Market Association (FFMA) supports farmers’ markets across Florida by providing tools, training, and connections that strengthen local food systems and improve market operations for everyone involved.

The Organic Certification Cost Share Program is a federal initiative that assists organic producers and handlers in offsetting the costs associated with obtaining or renewing their USDA organic certification.

The SE TOPP Mentorship Program connects producers who are transitioning to organic with experienced certified organic farmers across the Southeast while SE TOPP One-on-One Technical Assistance helps producers with organic certification and planning questions.

The Florida Local Food Project supports the development and expansion of Florida’s local food economy by bringing together farmers, markets, food businesses, and community partners.
