Micanopy

Alachua County Organic Farms is listed in Micanopy, the antiques-district town south of Gainesville that borders Paynes Prairie Preserve. The county-wide name suggests a network tied to the area's organic growing scene rather than a single roadside farm stand, though no independent confirmation of that structure was found.
