Local Food Week Events

Join Forage, Blue Oven Kitchens, Florida Organic Growers, and other members of the Alachua County Nutrition Alliance as we celebrate “I Love Local Food” Week February 14-21st, 2015.  

There will be great events, designed to support efforts to build our local food system and to connect you with the resources you need to love making local food a part of your diet and be a part of the “Eat Local Challenge” in May.

Forage’s mission is to be a center for educating and inspiring people to value healthy food, land and community by supporting and sustaining our local food movement.
