The '''Panhandle Fresh Marketing Association''' is an initiative of [[TEAM Santa Rosa]] to make locally grown produce available to area restaurants, via a partnership with [[Wikipedia: Sysco| Sysco]], and [[Walmart]] stores. Originally known as '''[[Santa Rosa County|Santa Rosa]] Fresh''', the program now includes farmers from neighboring counties as well.

Panhandle Fresh provides the requisite $3 million in liability insurance required by Walmart. They also perform marketing and logistic services to ensure shelf space and payment.<ref>http://www.northescambia.com/?p=7102</ref> While the farmers are currently required to deliver the produce to the stores themselves, executive director [[Cindy Anderson]] is pursuing the possibility of establishing a distribution center in [[Century]] using federal grants.<ref>http://www.northescambia.com/?p=7131</ref>
