I’m late in posting this but wanted to give a shout out to Pandemic Sauce Co. I had the pleasure of meeting the maker Florida Farm Finder’s Meet Florida Meat a couple of weeks ago and sampled a variety of BBQ sauces from them. Ron, the creator and chef, of these sauces is onto something.

Besides the fact they are 100% natural with no preservatives, are gluten and GMO free, vegan friendly, and they are freaking amazing. I picked up the Scorpion-Guava and tested it out last weekend on some home-smoked ribs. They were delicious. Perfect amount of heat and sweet (and I’m not a sweet guy).

Pandemic uses some hot peppers in their sauces, but don’t let that intimidate you from trying. Ron is an artist and a mad scientist concocting sauces for both the weak and bold palettes. Pandemic Sauce Company is based out of Tampa but the sauces are also available to purchase online and can be shipped to your doorstep.

If you are heading the Tampa Taco Fest this Saturday or the Gulfport Tuesday Market, check him out. You will likely leave with Jalapeno-Apple, Mango-Habanero, or my ultimate favorite, the Scorpion-Guava.

Exciting News! We have been pretty busy here focusing on our next feature release. We believe this is going to be something all of the Subscribers and Sponsors really like but also think this is something our members (you, the customers) are going to love.

We are launching a “Local Events” button on the main page allowing all members to see each and every event happening today, tomorrow, a week from now, etc.

Enabling the Local Events button also supports the “Make a Day” function. Registered Members have the ability to save any event they want to in their calendar to do exactly what it’s intended for: planning a day full of events and happenings within your area.

Stay tuned! It’s going to be pretty sweet here soon!

🎵“Can you dig it? We can dig it! Can y’all dig it? We can dig it!” Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. 😆

I want to take a minute to highlight Dig Local Network. They are a non-profit with a vision to connect people to better food and believe that community gardens, farmers markets, and overall nutrition education are the sustainable routes to the future.

I have visited the at Penman Park and there are many great vendors to shop! Happyhippy, Backyard Buffalo, LunchBox Bakery, Present Moment CBD, 𝔹𝔸𝕀𝕋 𝔸𝕣𝕥, and are just a sample of vendors to visit.

The market is held almost every Saturday but be sure to check their Local Corners page for correct dates and times. https://localcorners.com/dig-local-network-chc2vjX6k

Hello, aloha, bienvenido TIYS Clothing! Welcome to the Local Corners Community. This brand of casual apparel was created in Hawaii but is now residing on the East Coast! They take great pride in creating must-have, unique pieces that you’ll want to wear on any of your upcoming adventures.

I recently purchased a long-sleeved fishing shirt from their SALTY line and love it. I actually wore it this past Friday fishing and hooked into a huge redfish! That’s a memory I won’t forget.🤙

They’ve got apparel and items to appeal to anyone. Their hats, tanks, technical shirts, hoodies, and more represent Tiys clothing owners’ Maria and Drake’s personalities; laid back and very stylish.

Don’t be surprised if people come up and ask:
“Where did you get that tank?”
“Who is SALTY?”
It’s already happened to me on multiple occasions and nothing is more enjoyable talking about the brand and the owners I personally met.

Check out their site on https://localcorners.com/tiys-llc-r46qO8rI7. You can also shop their website direct or you can go see them in person September 4th at the Farmers Market.

Mmmmm. You can catch the scent of aloha with Hawaiianish’s baked goods starting with their cookies! A husband and wife duo, is a family style bakery mixing delicious island comfort food with mainland baked treats such as muffins, cookies, cakes and more.

Something else that’s cool? They also offer many other homemade island goods like beautiful Leis and botanicals.

Catch them at a market near you by visiting their Local Corners events page https://localcorners.com/hawaiianish-Mlq_aVPX2

Mahalo Hawaiianish. Thank you for sharing a little bit of island love with us!🌺

In an earlier post about Florida Farm Finder, I promised to dispel a few myths about buying from farmers vs. grocery store chains.

Here’s myth #1: Buying from local farmers is more expensive than the store. NOT TRUE!

Farmers markets can be cheaper, especially for produce at the peak of their season. If you plan ahead for various foods during their peak season, and typically when supplies are high, purchasing them in bulk and directly from the farmer can save you an average of 30% on the total bill. How so you ask? Well, for one, buying direct from farmers cuts out the middle men. This gives the farmers a better financial return while allowing them to stay competitive. Take that big chain stores! 👊

So not only are you saving your dollars, you’re contributing to your community’s economy and keeping your farmers in business, and that's good for everyone.

Check out https://localcorners.com/discover?c=farmers-market to find a farmers market in your area! Second Saturday Arts and Farmers Market and Dig Local Network are just a few I like to frequent.

🐸 Ribbit, ribbit.🐸 That’s Frog Song Organics calling all the way from Alachua County, Florida. This group produces health food and jobs within the community and what better than a frog standing in as their mascot knowing in many cultures it symbolizes life!

Frog Song has home delivery and wholesale delivery available! So awesome. A myth dispelled. Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and Gainesville are examples of drop off locations

Frog Song believes sustainable farming can be possible with respect to our human, ecological and economic resources. They are a certified organic farm since 2012 and are located only 30 minutes from the University of Florida in Gainesville. Go for a visit, and you’ll see the many varieties of produce, herbs, and flowers plus chickens and little piggies! Everything they grow is directly from their soil to retain its rich flavor.

If you can’t make a trip to their farm, check out their Local Corners page to find them at a farmer’s market near you. https://www.localcorners.com/frog-song-organics-edwptn2rW

Remember, shopping directly from a farmer has many benefits like purchasing seasonally, fresh and ripe foods, increasing your overall health. You’re also supporting your local farmers and keeping your dollars within your community.💵💵💵

Local Corners was lucky enough to recently meet the founder of Florida Farm Finder . What Jillian has done for our farmers in Florida needs to spread across the nation and Local Corners wants to help. When you buy directly from a farmer you are reaping so many benefits. My Top 4 (yes 4): 1) The product is typically better. 2) 99% of the time you can pronounce the words because it doesn’t have chemicals, additives, and preservatives. 3) A year ago your favorite grocery store became very limited. It's not a problem when you know farmers 4) You are supporting local.
In a later post Local Corners is going to dispel some myths, around price, distance, and variety from buying directly from farmers. In the meantime, go talk to some farmers at your local famers markets or through Local Corners: Second Saturday Arts and Farmers Market Dig Local Network

Since we are growing it is 100% free for those who want to join the Local Corners community. We have plenty of businesses that will vouch for us.

Welcome to the Local Corners community! Brian specializes in coastal themed painting typically using wood or canvas but I don’t think Brian would shy away from much. When you go to the grocery store and you buy a pineapple how often have you thought of a puffer fish? Or when you peel a banana who thinks of an octopus? Guess what? It works. Think produce meets the sea. 😄

I watched a video https://youtu.be/4chX_xyMglQ of him painting a wall mural for his daughter and a smile came over my face. Besides the fact it was really cool, a thought hit me like a ton of bricks; I am discovering all these amazing artisans and makers like I never knew about. So if I am discovering them, then more and more people will as well through Local Corners.

Web surfing and online shopping are great but you have an opportunity to actually see his works at Dig Local Network each Saturday as well. Go check it out!
