Passion for Produce

Passion for Produce Passion for Produce was an organic veggie and fruit weekly buying club and urban farm located in Sarasota, Florida. We have added a Nokomis pick up as well.

We are dedicated to supporting as much locally grown, organic and seasonal produce as possible! Occasionally we supplement with some non locally grown produce (i.e bananas, apples) but it is always organically grown. Weekly baskets are based on what's seasonally growing..and lean heavily in super nutrient rich greens! They usually consist of lettuce and salad fixings, dark greens, an herb and/or s

prouts and such. Much of the produce is extremely fresh..being harvested the day of or day before pickup. Heirloom varieties are also sometimes included! The main pickup location/day is in the Proctor/Sawyer Rd area of Sarasota, Fl...(contact us for exact address)
Every Wednesday from 10:30am-4:30pm (exceptions made for those who need to come later). Additional locations may soon become available..contact Michelle if interested in hosting a pick up spot. Cost is $150 for a 6 week block. $25 one time only membership. We want our members to be completely satisfied! Feel free to give it a try for a couple of weeks (at the cost of $25 week) before making the commitment. Passion for Produce Backyard Aquaponic Farm is now providing locally grown organic produce to the club (grown without pesticides in a hydro/aquaponic system with tilapia). Thank you for your interest! Michelle Silva

Great information!! If anyone in the Sarasota area wants to sell their home, now is a great time! Home inventory is low and I'm working with lots of buyers that want to move here, especially to Siesta Key.
Call me and we can discuss! 941-993-8993

It could be a great year for owners, but renters can expect sharp increases.

Update: I am thrilled I decided to finally get my real estate license. I truly love what I am doing again and it seems to be my calling..just sold another home last week...a waterfront property on Siesta Key! :)
If anyone is interested in a very large aquaponic system please pm me. It is free to anyone who can haul the entire system away!
Ideally, someone with a crew, as it is 40' x 15' of concrete blocks, 55 vertical towers, IBC totes etc. and will be quite a project to remove. Also available is the large shade shelter built overhead.

Thank you to all the wonderful supporters of Passion for Produce over the last decade!! It's time to close this chapter of my life and move on to my next adventure. Last week was the end of the co op.
Please continue to support local organic farmer's and our farmer's markets. I have been a huge supporter of locally grown organic produce (25 years!) and will continue to be. I just will no longer be a local provider, producer and/or foodpreneur:)
My life became increasingly busier (in a good way!) and at the same time I lost my fabulous helper, Erika. As many of you know, at times one has to prioritize and make a choice and that's what I've done for myself and my family.
It's been an incredible experience and I've met many amazing and unique people from all over the world!
For those of you that live in Sarasota (or want to!) I have gone back in to real estate, now as a licensed realtor with the awesome downtown Coldwell Banker office. I'm doing great and having a blast with it!! Check out my site if you want to have direct access to the MLS listing and get an idea of some properties available here.

I went back to purchasing rental properties a couple of years ago and I've recently discovered helping sellers and buyers meet their needs is very fulfilling! Please feel free to get in touch if you are interested in selling or buying or know someone who might be!
I'll be shopping again at our local farm, certified organic Jessica's stand again or at the Sarasota downtown farmer's market and hope to see you there! ~Michelle Silva
