About NeighborlyBites
NeighborlyBites.com is a local homemade food marketplace starting in the Ocala and Gainesville Florida area. It connects home cooks who make items like jelly, cookies, jam, pickles, honey, and full home cooked meals with nearby buyers who want fresh, local food.
Unlike Facebook Marketplace, neighborlybites.com is where you are more than a listing — you are a business.
