Our History
The Family Garden has been in operation since 2007. Founded by Jordan Brown and his wife Diwa, the farm was initially located in Bell, Florida. In 2015 they relocated to east Gainesville, and bought the 20-acre parcel that we currently grow on. We grow all our fruits and vegetables using organic methods, selling both wholesale to local restaurants and businesses in North Florida, and direct to consumers at the Alachua County Farmers Market. The farm also runs a small CSA program.
Our Commitment
The Family Garden, or TFG, grows with dignity and respect for the land and the people who care for your food. The amazing thing about organic farming is that it doesn’t only benefit the farmer and the consumer, but also the the land and the people who tend to it. That’s why every season we strive to use the most sustainable and mindful practices possible. Not only does this produce the best food, but it also strengthens our connection to the land and enriches our lives. We’re committed to demonstrating the value of this connection, and the joy that it can bring to the entire community!

Our Goal
At The Family Garden, we’re aiming to make organic food approachable and accessible in our little piece of the world. We sell high quality organic produce at affordable prices because we want everyone in our community to be able to eat well and choose the best products to feed their families. We know that most families are on a budget (we are too!), so we grow a variety of nutrient-dense foods that are in season, fresh, and all for a fair price. This way, you can serve delicious meals each week without breaking your bank. Our goal is to produce high quality products and make it affordable for the regular folks. This way, we can all enjoy good food, and get a little closer to the land and each other!
