Local Produce and Farm Sources in Brevard County, FL
Healthy Tips & Understanding the Language
Knowing what food labels mean can help you make healthier choices.
Co-ops are small local markets that work with nearby farms to sell fresh, local foods. They often focus on natural and ethical farming. Some require a membership fee, but they support small farms and your local community.
Egg Labels can be confusing.
- Free-Range means hens go outside sometimes, but not for long.
- Pasture-Raised means hens have lots of outdoor space and eat a natural diet.
→ These eggs usually have more nutrients and better flavor.
Beef Labels matter too.
- Grass-Fed cows eat only grass. This makes the meat leaner and higher in healthy fats.
- Grain-Fed cows eat corn or soy to grow faster.
→ Choose “100% Grass-Fed” when possible for better quality.
Antibiotic-Free & Hormone-Free
- Antibiotic-Free means animals weren’t given medicine that can lead to resistant bacteria.
- Hormone-Free is important for beef and dairy. (Hormones aren’t allowed in chicken or pork.)
→ Small farms often avoid these even if not on the label.
Organic vs. Conventional Produce
- Organic means no harmful chemicals or GMOs were used. It’s usually higher in nutrients.
- Conventional may use synthetic pesticides and herbicides.
→ Choose organic for foods you eat with the skin (like apples or berries).
