Eco-Growers of East Central Florida is an informal group of local growers that support and participate in sustainable, environmentally-friendly agriculture and offer an outlet to exchange resources, knowledge, current events, education, and more, in a relaxed, social setting.

We started this group to support each other in our mostly new, sustainable agricultural endeavors, and found that there are more growers here than we new about. We want to promote local sustainable agriculture in east central Florida and help make the community aware of the opportunities to buy locally grown or produced goods, as well as the environmental and social benefits of buying locally.

This yahoo group will serve as our main communications tool, and offers us a place to ask each other questions, offer helpful advice, post notices about upcoming events, workshops, seminars, etc., notify each other when a crop is ready, swap recipes, list places to buy hard to find growing supplies, and much, much more! In addition to this online resource, we also plan to organize local activities such as farm tours, field trips, and a very yummy "Local Flavor Supper Club" where we make dinner using as many locally grown ingredients as possible.

As we are a locally based group, participants should also live locally (Cocoa, Rockledge, Melbourne, Titusville, Palm Bay, Grant, Christmas, etc.). Non-local participants who wish to offer us helpful and relevant advice or resources are also welcome.
