ISSUE 1249

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY TO UPDATE TWO HOMEGROWN DIRECTORIES

The Hillsborough County Agriculture Industry Development Program is looking for farmers who would like to be included in an update of two county agricultural marketing directories. One lists farmers who sell directly to the public and the other lists those who sell at the wholesale level.

These directories are part of an effort to improve marketing opportunities for Hillsborough County agriculturalists. The listings are free to the farmer. Growers may be included in both directories if applicable.

Interested growers can find the application online at www.hillsboroughcounty.org/econdev/agriculture, then click on applications/forms under Resources, and scroll down to Hillsborough County Grown Directory. Farmers may also call Alayna Shiver at (813) 272-5909 to request a form.
