Wouldn't it be great if there was organization that purchased fruits and produce only from local Alabama farmers and delivered that same fresh produce to you for a reasonable price?Well guess what? There is! The main focus of this blog is to education you as the consumer about food sustainability in Alabama. Sustainability means buying food locally and putting money back into Alabama's economy.Grow Alabama is the organization that has designed a program to do just that.


The Purpose of Grow Alabama is reversing the ratio of foods consumed in Alabama to the foods grown in Alabama, thereby increasing the production and profitability of all Alabama farmers, enhancing the economic viability of all rural Alabama and bringing economic and environmental sustainability to the state as a whole. Not to mention providing the people of Alabama with the highest quality of food. The problem is that millions of dollars are lost in Alabama due to farm products being purchased out of state. Grow Alabama has put together a 6 step program to help rectify this problem. They have created an appropriate marketing venue and a crop plan. They have also expanded the number of farms participating and supporting the farmer's technical and labor needs. Grow Alabama is planning for success and creating success by expanding to other marketing venues as well.





As of right now, Grow Alabama employees and supports over 50 farms across Alabama and has around 500 customers that they deliver to weekly. 500 may seem like a small number but founder Jerry Spencer anticipates 50,000 in the years to come. Starting small is a smart way to start a project like this because it ensures that over or under production does not happen. The way works is simple. Go online and customize an order, there is even a grow chart avaliable to go by ensuring you get the freshest produce available. Simply choose from one of the three plans Grow Alabama offers and pay. You can pick your order up from one of the several locals around the state. Ordering for the week begins on Sunday's around 4pm.
