Join us for a conversation with our Virtual Market Manager, Courtney Ward, to learn about the Backyard Market Initiative and the exciting updates for local consumers and vendors!

Get ready to join a new wave of local food shopping, through the Backyard Market—a virtual farmers market platform developed by Florida Organic Growers that enables producers and consumers to sell and purchase food with flexibility and efficiency. With over a decade of culinary experience, in farm-to-fork and waste-less environments, Courtney proudly shares her knowledge to enhance food access at a local level.
