ASK THE GIFC Forum/Posts
Welcome to the Gulf Islands Food Co-op (GIFC) announcement and question-answering page, with a new initiative called ASK the GIFC!
Besides our Education page, what’s an easy way to find out something about island food producing? Just email our question coordinator Jenn, at AsktheGIFC@gmail.com. Then she will tap into the vast knowledge of our many growers to provide responses to the questions, and also log in here to post the most common ones below. Also, here’s a quick optional survey to help us develop this initiative (e.g. if you know about OR want to know about a specific food production method):
