Farm Fresh Produce from Greens on the Gro

The Manatee County Health Department is hosting a weekly farm stand, open to the public.  Greens on the Gro is a small farm based in Ellenton, who partners with other local farmers to bring you a wide variety of fresh, chemical-free produce, including kale, spinach, collard greens, kohlrabi, tomatoes, potatoes, herbs, and much more.  Pre-ordering is available online from Friday evening through noon on Tuesday; place your order at http://floridasuncoast.locallygrown.net, pick it up at the Wednesday market, and you'll be guaranteed to get what you want!  This farm stand makes it convenient and affordable to maintain a healthy diet, while supporting your local farmers!

*Please note: There will NOT be a farm stand on April 25, but it will be back on May 2!
