That link Joolz posted is a good one.

kbot, you might also look at purchasing a "share" in an organic farmer's harvest. The are called Community Supported Ag farms, or CSA farms if you're searching on the 'net for one close to you.

When I lived in the 'burbs before moving out here I used to participate in one in Puyallup. You buy "shares" in a farmer's harvest. Some of them even do home delivery. It benefits the farmer because he gets money that he needs to pay his workers/equipment, etc. upfront and you get the benies of locally produced food.


According to Local Harvest, there are 142 farms in MA participating.

Ya know, I saw this, but I'm not too familiar with the process, so I figured that I'd check itno it as I make the rounds this weekend. Although, with Hurricaine Earl bearing down on us, hitting Friday/ Saturday, who knows what'll happen........
