Florida Fields to Forks is a community supported agriculture program offering local, healthy foods, from our farm and ranch partners, to your table. Our goals are simple, to provide our members with the freshest, beyond organic, local seasonal vegetables, grass-fed and dry aged 100% angus beef, katahdin lamb, berkshire pork, pasture raised chickens and eggs, dairy, raw milk cheeses and other nutritional products. All of our animals are grass-fed on a variety of organic forages, by ranchers that focus on biodynamic practices. They are antibiotic and hormone free, and USDA inspected. The health benefits of raising our animals the pure way God intended are immeasurable. We look forward to meeting you at the farm!
