Durkeeville & Co is now a Blue Zones Approved Grocery Store — and with it comes more fresh, healthy options right in the neighborhood.

As part of the Blue Zones Project approval process, we worked with the community to decide what produce they wanted most. Thanks to Eartha’s Farm and Market, those fruits and vegetables are now stocked on the shelves, and Baptist Health made it possible by providing the refrigeration to keep them fresh.

Together, we’re making the healthy choice the easy choice in Durkeeville.

Today marks the first day of school for thousands of students across Jacksonville — and a new year of opportunities to learn, grow, and make healthy choices.

From integrating movement into the day to encouraging nutritious snacks, our educators and teachers help create environments where the healthy choice is the easy choice. Their guidance shapes not just academic success, but lifelong wellbeing.

We’re grateful for every teacher, counselor, and school staff member who plays a role in helping our students thrive. 👏🏽🎉👩🏾‍🏫🙌🏻
