Grow Food That Feeds Your Family in the South
Food forest design born in Florida, built for the whole South. Real food, real climate, real results. I teach the way I live, on the same dirt I grow on.
7 days free. $0 today. Cancel anytime. Join 40,000+ Southern growers.
The masterclass, members-only videos, and a plan for your exact zone. 7 days free, $0 today.
A year from now, your yard is either feeding you or it is not.
Start today and next season you have trees in the ground, a harvest log filling up, and a plan that fits where you live. Wait, and it is another year of grocery runs and guessing. You were already watching the videos. You were already going to buy the books. For less than a few bags of groceries a month, you get the whole system and the people growing right beside you.

Grow Food NOT Lawns
You have tried to grow food here before. The South fought back.
You planted what the books said. Half of it died in the heat. The trees that lived never made fruit. Every guide you found was written for a place that gets a real winter and an easy summer, not Florida sun and a surprise February freeze.
It is not you. You were handed the wrong map.
Growing food in the South runs on different rules. Different plants. Different timing. Different frost math. Different soil. Get those right and your yard feeds you. Get them wrong and you lose another five years to trees that were never going to make it.
Get the Southern Planting Calendar
80+ crops, zone by zone planting windows, frost dates, and the crops that are nearly impossible to kill down here. The exact calendar I plant by, free.

Built by someone who actually grows here.
Jermaine Jefferson built GrowFitFL on a quarter acre in West Central Florida, Zone 10a. Eleven years of discipline as a certified personal trainer, turned toward growing real food. Today the food forest feeds his family of six year round.
His wife Toni grows on the same land. Four kids learning to grow before they learn to drive. Three books in print. More than 40,000 growers following the work. This is the system he wished he had when he started.
Three steps to a yard that feeds you.

Hundreds of emails land in our inbox every month. Thousands of comments sit on the channel. The Hub is new, but the help is not. Here is a small handful, picked at random and shown word for word.
You are a regular guy, not just pushing products, who just wants to make people better and live better lives... your channel has helped me tremendously!

I have had a lot of failures because of not knowing when and what to plant in Florida. I can't tell you how helpful you and your wife have been.
@michelleknight5524 · YouTube
This is the first year that I feel I've actually started the garden in time. I started planting watermelon, Seminole squash, longevity spinach, pigeon pea, and a lot more last month and they are already looking great.
