About GrowFitFL

I am Jermaine Jefferson, author of Grow Food NOT Lawns, The Florida Perennial Garden, and Discipline. I turned my West Central Florida backyard into a food forest with over 120 edible plants that feeds my family year-round. Through GrowFitFL, I help families take control of their food, their health, and their habits. My wife Toni runs RootedinJs, one of the fastest-growing gardening channels on YouTube. Together we are raising four kids and proving that you do not need a farm to feed your family. Every week I put out free content on YouTube showing exactly how we do it. No gatekeeping. No shortcuts. Just what works.
