This Food Day  join Sweetwater Farm at Green Bench Brewing Co.  in St. Pete for an evening learning about “real food” and asking the question–where does your food come from?


Bring a edible plant to swap at the plant swap table, stop by the seed station to make your own biodegradable pot to take home and plant, and meet your farmers.

At 6:00pm Rick Martinez, founder of Sweetwater, will give an Introduction to Organic Gardening 101 talk.

Then at 7:00pm we’ll screen the short film “Food for Thought, Food for Life” and have a Q&A.

Throughout the evening you can meet your farmers, learn about the CSA program ( One Free Draft Beer when you sign up for a CSA Vegetable Share! ), participate in the plant swap, and make a take home seed pot.

This event is free, open to the public, casual, and family friendly.

Sweetwater Farm

Sweetwater Organic Community Farm was established in 1995 as a nonprofit community-supported urban organic farm and environmental education center in Tampa, Florida. We are located on 6 acres of suburban property along the Sweetwater Creek in Tampa’s Town ‘n’ Country neighborhood, in Hillsborough County, Florida. We operate a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Membership program, Sweetwater Sunday Farmers’ Market and Music Series open to the public, educational field trip programs for visiting groups, farm tours, workshops, outdoor movies, seasonal events, volunteer opportunities and more! Through our hands-on programs, visitors of all ages discover the wonders of nature, explore ecological interconnections, practice appropriate land stewardship and master sustainable agriculture techniques. Our farm provides the freshest possible organic vegetables and herbs for hundreds of Tampa Bay residents each year. At Sweetwater, community members come together to grow and enjoy fresh organic food, acquire sustainable living skills, support local agriculture, enjoy nature, make new friends and be a part of the community.
