My meeting started at 10a-12:30p, then we broke for lunch. There are approximately 70 persons that attended from all over the Southeast US.

They just won 3rd place in the innovation category at One Spark this year and intend to use the money to start a food truck for the students to sell their produce! Local restaurants even use their produce (Native Sun, Tossgreen, etc). We visited as part of Slow Food First Coast's Tour de Farm 2014 after seeing their set up at One Spark. It's on the small side (it's in the back of the school) but they grow tons of different stuff! Blueberries (their first produce, hence the name of the farm), kale, lettuce, flowers, anything you could imagine. They also have 2 large tilapia tanks and have a system in place that uses the tilapia water/waste to fertilize the plants. For the event there were FSCJ culinary students on hand making really tasty food from the Berry Good Farms produce (lettuce wraps, smoothies, wheat grass shots, etc). Not only does Berry Good Farms produce awesome products, they teach their students to grow and prepare all kinds of food. I can't wait until their food truck is on the streets!
