Let 2020 Be The Year of a
​Homegrown Revolution!

During this time of social distancing and separation, now is the time for grocers and growers to connect! 
Watch the video below and then use the resources to find rural growers AND rural grocers by county, as well as other useful information that will assist you in building relationships for your own Homegrown Revolution.

Please spread the word far and wide that LOCAL garden produce
is needed and wanted by grocers. 
​Growers and grocers: what a beautiful friendship!
