The Birdhouse Buying Club is Awesome

Congratulations to Ryan Iacovacci for winning the first Awesome Tampa Bay thousand dollar grant for the Birdhouse Buying Club.

The Birdhouse Buying Club acts as an intermediary between people who want to buy locally-produced fruits and vegetables and local organic growers.

“Our buying club is unique in that sense because we go directly to the farm and work with farms that meet our standards. We strive to build trust with our customers and we do that by inspecting the farms ourselves and being honest with our customers when it comes to fertilizers, pesticides, labor practices and such.

“We want to not just support our local farmers, but we want to educate our partners, like you, as much as we can about our farms here locally.”

Awesome Tampa Bay hands out $1,000 fellowships to home-grown projects they deem awesome.

If you have an awesome idea that could use a quick cash infusion their next deadline is Feb. 1, 2012.

Check out 83 Degrees for coverage, including info about the runners-up.
