“Now Food Doesn’t Have to Travel”: Hyperlocal Agriculture with lemonGRAFT Founder Zach Correa

<p>This week, we’re exploring the benefits of hyperlocal agriculture with Zach Correa, founder and CEO of <a href="https://lemongraft.com/" target="_blank">lemonGRAFT</a>. The Tampa-based tech platform allows neighbors to buy and sell home-grown foods.</p><p>Zach’s idea has been getting a lot of attention lately. Last year, Zach scored a fellowship with NPR’s <a href="https://wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/show/florida-matters/2022-07-12/three-tampa-bay-food-entrepreneurs-share-their-experiences-starting-small-businesses" target="_blank">How I Built This</a> podcast. And you may have heard him back in July on WUSF’s <a href="https://wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/show/florida-matters/2022-07-12/three-tampa-bay-food-entrepreneurs-share-their-experiences-starting-small-businesses" target="_blank">Florida Matters</a>. In our conversation, Zach explains how lemonGRAFT works and how buying local—as in, your neighbor down the street local—can lead to a more sustainable and equitable food system.</p><p><strong>Related episodes:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://thezestpodcast.com/s3-episode-12/">It’s Always Sunny at St. Petersburg’s Brick Street Farms</a></li><li><a href="https://thezestpodcast.com/conscious-cuisine-edible-gardening-tips-from-albert-risemberg/">Conscious Cuisine: Edible Gardening Tips from Albert Risemberg</a></li><li><a href="https://thezestpodcast.com/conscious-cuisine-rocky-soil-family-farm-on-how-to-reconnect-with-your-food/">Conscious Cuisine: Rocky Soil Family Farm on How to Reconnect with Your Food</a></li><li><a href="https://thezestpodcast.com/conscious-cuisine-rob-greenfield-on-how-to-live-without-grocery-stores-and-restaurants/">Conscious Cuisine: Rob Greenfield on How to Live without Grocery Stores and Restaurants</a></li></ul>
