Let’s celebrate Farm-to-City Week together!

Join a Farm-to-City event this coming Friday, November 22, 2024, as local produce is transported through town starting at the Okaloosa County Farm Bureau office and ending at the Woodlawn Baptist Church in Crestview. The trip includes a stop at the Richbourg School where youth receive a sweet potato and get to see the tractors. Local produce and food will be distributed to the community at 11 AM in the north parking lot of the Woodlawn Baptist Church.

Farm-to-City Week is possible due to the contributions of many partners—the Okaloosa County Farm Bureau, Feeding the Gulf Coast, Woodlawn Baptist Church, and the Construction Sales and Services. Special thanks to our supporting farms—Edmondson Farms, Sirmon Farms, and Hoover Meal.
