Food systems can be very complex, from growing, to processing, packaging, transportation and end sales. In addition to taking long distance for food to reach our plate, these processes use a lot of water, energy and fuel to bring food to our table. So obtaining our food locally can help to reduce our environmental food-print.

The City of Orlando is working toward a local food system that encompasses the entire cycle of food production and consumption, including growing, transporting and the use of disposal. With the goal of focusing on our commitment to increased food production, many community gardens and farmers markets are springing up in Central Florida.

Parramore Farmers Market began on Jan. 6, 2018, and will be open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., on the East side of the Orlando City Stadium, at 655 W. Church St., Orlando, FL 32805, across from City View.

Purchase quality, fresh and healthy food grown in your own neighborhood by local farmers, including Fleet Farming, Growing Orlando, and various other community growers.

The market will feature:

More than 30 local vendors
The sale of Black Bee Honey – a startup run by Parramore Kidz Zone mentoring program youth
A Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) booth where patrons may use their EBT cardsto receive tokens to spend in the market

This weekly farmers market is part of the USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program Grant received by the city. With this grant, the city is working to provide access to quality, fresh and healthy food in the West Orlando neighborhoods that have been deemed as “food deserts.” This program will also help in giving residents the opportunity to start or grow a business by encouraging entrepreneurship.

I am a mother/wife/daughter, math professor, solar advocate, world traveler, yogi, artist, photographer, sharer of knowledge/information, and resident of Windermere, FL. I've worked professionally in applied math, engineering, medical research, and as a university math professor in IL and FL for about 20 years. My husband and I loved Disney and moved down to Central Florida initially as snowbirds. But we've come to love the warmth and friendly people offered by this community and decided to move down to Windermere, FL full time in 2006. I am now spending time sharing information/ knowledge online, promoting understanding of math and solar energy (via http://www.sunisthefuture.net ), and developing Windermere Sun (http://www.WindermereSun.com) as an online publication, sharing and promoting Community ABC's (Activities-Businesses-Collaborations) for healthier/happier/more sustainable living. In the following posts, I'll be sharing with you some of the reasons why Windermere has attracted us to become full-time residents of Central Florida region.
