Alachua County is inviting residents, farmers, vendors, and market supporters to share their thoughts on the role of farmers markets in the community. A brief survey is now open to help guide future initiatives that support farmers, growers, food entrepreneurs, and small businesses.

In addition to the survey, Alachua County Tourism and Economic Development staff will visit 10 farmers markets across the county from September through November to gather in-person feedback.
