Updated 12/10/2021

Healthier Jupiter has worked with our Community Action Committee and our partner FreshRx to list some of the local CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) and farmers market where you can buy fresh, local and organic produce from your local farmer.

What is a CSA? CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture is a pre-packed veggie box or farm share. It is a relationship between the farm and the customer. As a CSA “member”, you receive weekly shares of produce, and goods directly from a local farm’s (or group of farms) harvest.

A lot of our local farms, farmers markets and non-profits are starting to accept SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), formerly known as food stamps. Those with SNAP often receive a discounted price. Find out more information about apply for SNAP with the Palm Beach County Food Bank.

Healthier Jupiter, in partnership with Jupiter Medical Center is dedicated to bringing the greater Jupiter community together to encourage each person to live their healthiest life. Healthier Jupiter strives to be inclusive in every aspect of the initiative and to involve all those who live, work, learn, play or seek care in the greater Jupiter area. As such, you will find markets and farms from all over Palm Beach County listed.

Below we provide you with name of the farm, farmers market or nonprofit, including products, growing practices, how to order, price range and locations. All of the information above is subject to change, please consult each individual market or farm for their most up to date times/days, vendors, etc.
