We want to help you find proteins and produce that are planted, plowed, pruned, picked, pollinated, pastured, propagated, produced, packed, and prepped in Florida.

We do that one of these ways:

Follow: Florida Farm Finder

Join: Big Dill FL | Florida Farm Direct

Attend: Meet Florida Meat in April in Mount Dora

You can also follow us on Insta, TikTok, Threads and YouTube!

Our community was so good, we’ve decided to grow it twice. 🌱

In May 2020, Florida Farm Finder started building a Facebook community around one pretty simple idea: make it easier for Floridians to find the people growing and raising their food.

This week, through circumstances very much NOT of our choosing 😂, we got the opportunity to build that community all over again.

And y’all showed up.

Hundreds of people have already found their way to Big Dill FL, and watching familiar names, farmers, customers, contributors and longtime community members roll in has been a pretty incredible reminder:

The group was never the thing that made this community special.

The people were.

So we’re growing it twice.

Same mission. Same Florida food. Same slightly chaotic people asking where to find raw milk, half a cow, local honey and the best tomatoes within a 47-mile radius.

Just a fresh place to do it. 🥒🌱

Welcome to Big Dill FL | Florida Farm Direct

Turns out we’re still kind of a big dill. 😭😭😭

Meet Florida Meat

We’re not a typical Florida farmers market.

We are a market of farmers. 💪
