We encourage Lake County growers to take a look at LakeCountyGrown.com and consider expanding their Specialty Crops acres and diversity to take part in this and other local marketing opportunities:

Eat Fresh Buy Lake County Grown - LakeCountyGrown.com

is an online marketplace of locally grown specialty crops. The online market is open year round with deliveries on a weekly basis here in Lake County.

 

We make it possible for growers to work together to meet the growing demand for locally grown specialty crops and produced food. Growers benefit from the marketing, selling, packaging and delivering of their produce and prepared foods.

 

Our online marketplace brings fresh, healthy, locally grown specialty crops and produced food to you, the buyer, in a cost-effective manner on a weekly basis.

 

Made possible by a grant awarded to Lake County Farm Bureau in July 2010 by the Lake County Health Leadership Network, Lake County Health Department and California Department of Agriculture - Specialty Crop Grants Program.
