Grow Food NOT Lawns is not a gardening manual. It is a wake up call.
Now Expanded with 100+ New Pages (2026 Update)
If you purchased earlier editions, you already own the foundation this was built on. This update expands it, it doesn’t replace it.
Written by Jermaine Jefferson, husband, father of four, and creator of GrowFitFL, this book was born after losing four close family members in one year, including his father. Grief stripped away the noise and forced one hard truth: health and responsibility cannot be outsourced.
This book was written quietly, in a backyard, with a pen and a notebook. Not to teach planting techniques, but to explore why growing food matters in the first place.
Grow Food NOT Lawns is about reclaiming health, protecting family, and finding resilience through food and intention. It is about choosing nourishment over convenience and long term vitality over short term ease.
When you order directly from GrowFitFL.com, you unlock exclusive bonuses available only through this site. After purchase, you receive access to additional tools and resources designed to help you apply what this book sparks.
If you are looking for motivation, perspective, and a reason to start, this book is for you.

Start with one seed.

Your Food Forest Starts Today - Not Someday
Every order includes FREE seeds to get you growing immediately:
Moringa Seeds (2-5 per book) - The "miracle tree" that thrives in Florida heat, produces edible leaves in 6-8 weeks, and can grow 10+ feet in year one. Plant it, forget it, harvest it.
Pigeon Pea Seeds (2-5 per book) - A nitrogen-fixing powerhouse that feeds your family AND your soil. Drought-tolerant, pest-resistant, and produces protein-rich beans in 4-6 months.
Ashwagandha Seeds (2-5 per book) - The legendary adaptogen that grows like a weed in Florida. Harvest the roots for stress relief and immune support. This is medicine you can grow in your backyard.
Why these three? Because they're the fastest path to actual food AND medicine production in Florida. While you're reading about building your food forest, these seeds will already be sprouting.
This is a limited-time offer. Once current seed inventory runs out, future orders ship with book only.
Don't just learn about food forests - plant one. Your seeds are waiting.
