Sublime restaurant in Fort Lauderdale is an excellent vegan restaurant. The only problem is that they never seem to be open  . For organics, we have your typical overpriced Whole Foods Market (we need Trader Joes!), and Publix carries a limited selection of organics. As far as farmers markets, I sure cant find one! Farmstands open WAY out in Homestead (southwest of Miami) in the winter, where sometimes you can find good local produce. |

Don't know where they would find "local growers". Zero percent of Broward land is agricultural, and they already have plenty of ways to take advantage of the Homestead produce down there. I do wish there was a place to buy fresh produce here, though! |

I know this post was done last year but, did you know there are 22 farms in Broward county? Who would have thought it, hunh?

says in 2002 Broward had 400 plus farms. Not sure how many still exist. Also says these farms get together to sell their goods, but being the usual mullet wrapper that Sun Sentinel is, they don't tell you where :S |
