We connect people to better food.
We believe that community gardens, farmers' markets, and nutrition education are
sustainable routes to a future where everyone can eat better. We think access to good nutritious
food is a human right regardless of a person's location or economic level.
All of DLN Farmers' Markets accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)/EBT
cards and provide cost incentives such as doubling the shoppers $$ for their purchase of fresh
vegetables and locally farmed goods.
Although the Beaches Community, while known for its high real estate values and wealth along
the coast, also has areas of poverty and food deserts, A food desert is defined by the USDA as a
low-income census tract where either a substantial number or share of residents has low access
to a supermarket or large grocery store. Poverty plays a primary role in defining food deserts.
The USDA's Food Access Research Atlas shows a census tract in Atlantic Beach west of Mayport
Road and at the border of Dutton island Road with a poverty rate of 15.1, median family income
of $44,491, and 236 housing units that receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) that are more than 1 to 20 miles from the nearest grocery store. Dig
Local Network runs a year-round market (Atlantic Beach Midweek Market) accessible to this
tract By accepting SNAP/EBT, implementing our FAB incentive program at this and other
markets, and providing nutrition workshops, DLN aims to provide not just food access, but fresh,
nutritional food options, community garden engagement, and equity of choice to these and other
low-income residents and SNAP recipients in Atlantic Beach.
3. Description of program/event
3.1 Describe the goals and objectives of the program/event, and benefits to the
residents of Atlantic Beach, please make sure goals and objectives are specific,
measurable, achievable, results -focused and time -bound (Maximum 16 POINTS)
NOTE., Reviewers will consider the following questions when assigning points:
o Are the goals and objectives described in the application SMART
(specific, measurable, achievable, results -focused, and time- bound)
o How will the program/event benefit residents of Atlantic Beach (pertaining
to cultural arts and recreation?

The Dig Local Network (DLN) Midweek Market Offerings
The DLN Midweek Market bring a wide variety of fresh and nutritious food, art and culture to our community.
Beyond Healthy Food
DLN partners with Beaches Habitat for Humanity, who operate the Jordan Park Community Center (Jordan
Center) and the Gail Baker Community Center (Baker Center), both in Atlantic Beach to provide education and
garden beds for the children involved in the after-school programs. DLN also hosts gardening workshops at the
two DLN community gardens. These workshops are provided to community garden plot owners and open to the
community and are held monthly at each garden property.
Monthly cooking classes are also taught at the Jordan Park Community Center for the community and advertised
to Beaches Habitat for Humanity's partner families.
The specific goal of the DLN Children's Gardens is to connect children to the natural world through creativity and
to the empowerment and health that growing one's own food brings. In our garden outreach programs, we serve
children by inspiring them to taste, and then become accustomed to regularly eating fresh healthy foods through
consistent access to local produce. We encourage them to creatively connect to their natural world through the
garden to table lifestyle.
These two fully organic children's gardens serve a wide population of community children, and their grown-ups,
across Atlantic Beach. At each of our gardens, and the workshops held within them, we strive to connect children
with their natural world through creative gardening experiences.
Our developmentally appropriate facilitated programs encourage children's senses of wonder to soar, thereby
laying a foundation for place -based artistic learning, a lifelong love of nature, and healthy food relationships.
Using Nature -Study, story, song, poetry, visual art, and of course gardening and cooking, we inspire children of all
ages to explore, discover, observe, identify, and creatively connect with the wonders of nature in the safe fully
hands-on garden spaces. From actual organic gardening to herb tasting and harvest party meals to story and song
to engaging in the literary, visual, and culinary arts, we involve the children and their guardians in every aspect of
the gardens!
DLN will provide two Sprouts (Garden) workshops per month during the school year and one workshop per week
during summer camp.
This grant would allow us to provide these workshops each month & week, thereby increasing the children's
connection to the gardens and healthy eating, cultural and artistic experiences and would also allow us to expand
the gardens to include more garden beds as well as fruit trees for the community.
Expanding the gardens will allow us to also provide the children more food and supply and supplement our
adolescent and community healthy cooking demonstrations with food grown on the grounds for garden to table
cooking and eating.
Additionally, DLN provides free monthly "Market Fresh Meals on a Budget" cooking workshops to the adolescents
& their families that participate Jordan Park and Gail Baker community centers in Atlantic Beach. At these cooking
workshops, participants enjoy a farm fresh meal created by a local chef or nutritionist while learning to make the
most of food budgets and getting tips on healthy eating from a certified nutritionist.
This grant would make it possible for DLN to increase the monthly workshops offered at the Atlantic Beach
Farmers Market and take the demos into the Community centers, expand the Jordan & Gail Baker Center Gardens
with an additional fruit trees, supply plant and would contribute to funding the Beaches Children's Garden's free
garden workshops.

event?
o Is this a family oriented and wholesome event that City funding should
support?
Our FARMERS MARKET'S
We believe farmers' markets are among the projects that provide access to good food and
encourage healthier habits. These markets connect consumers with fresh, and often organic,
food that is free of the over -processing that plagues most products found in the average
supermarket.
COMMUNITY GARDENS
Gardens connect participants directly to the earth and healthy food. They can unite communities
and transform neighborhoods.
OUTREACH & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Our Garden Workshops provide artistic community engagement through music, poetry, art, and
nutrition. These cultural engagements is the pillar of our work in changing the food future for our
community. We offer classes at our Atlantic Beach community centers and gardens alike,
WHYLOCAL FOOD & COMMUITY GARDENS MA TTER

We are currently working on an innovative food & program access solution for our Community that is unable to
access the Farmers Markets and Garden Workshops. Dig Local Network is currently working on engaging local
churches & organizations that bring the fresh produce & food artisan products directly to the consumer.
The Dig Local Network Fresh Market sources locally grown produce & Food from local farmers and food artisans.
This gives local farmers & artisans the opportunity to sell more produce to consumers that might not otherwise
make it to the farmers market.
As an added incentive, the Dig Local markets accept cash, credit/debit, as well as EBT/SNAP which is doubled at
the market, meaning that $5 swiped is worth $10 to spend.

In January of 2015, Dig Local, Inc and Beaches Local f=ood Network joined forces to better serve the
community at large with their shared visions of providing access to sustainably grown and local food.
This united grassroots effort to change the modem food system has resulted in multiple community
gardens, farmers' markets, and education programs for children and adults.
By way of community gardens, farmers' markets, and accessible education, Dig local, a not-for-profit 501 O
(3) organization, worked to provide communities of all economic levels a choice when faced with the ills of
the modern food system.
Our story began in 2010 with two AmeriCorps volunteers with Beaches Habitat in Atlantic Beach. The two
women had started seeds with some of the kids at the Jordan Park Community Center but quickly realized
that there was nowhere to put the plants as they grew.
Through their shared dream and a provision of land via Beaches Habitat for Humanity and the City of Atlantic
Beach, our organization was started. Originally the Dutton Island Gardeners, or DIG, was made up of a few
community members. Over time, it has evolved into 501c3 with a board of directors and multiple projects.
