Kosher in Gainesville
Gainesville offers limited kosher options. Publix , Walmart , and Winn-Dixie carry many certified items (Publix and Walmart keep a small kosher aisle), and Trader Joe’s on Archer Road offers Glatt kosher meat and chicken, subject to availability.
Kosher Your Kitchen
Many kosher students live off campus and cook at home. When you move in, Chabad UF will help you kosher your apartment kitchen.
Reach out to Rabbi Aaron Notik to schedule.
