There’s never been a better time to fill your grocery cart with Alabama-grown produce and support your local farmers, who work hard every day to grow fresh, high-quality food for families across the state.
On Saturday, July 25, Sweet Grown Alabama Day returns for its annual celebration of the farmers, fishermen, foresters, and producers who help feed communities across the state. The statewide initiative encourages Alabamians to make at least one local purchase in support of the people growing, raising, and producing Alabama products.

Participating is simple. Visit a local farm or farmers market, enjoy a meal made with Alabama-grown ingredients, purchase fresh seafood caught in Alabama waters, or pick up locally grown flowers, honey, meat, pecans, or seasonal produce. Even one purchase helps support family farms, strengthen local communities, and keep more dollars circulating in Alabama’s economy…
