November is International Thank a Farmer Month. Why limit our appreciation to one month a year? Every day we eat is a good day to show our appreciation to those who toil from sun up to sundown to bring food to the market. Here are some of the farms and farmers working to create a sustainable local food community in Northeast Florida. Give thanks.
