Have you been wondering how local growers (farmers, dairies, seed growers, and cooperatives) are doing? Well those of us close to it wonder about it all the time. We are constantly told that more and more people are "buying local" and want to raise their families knowing their farmer. There is a great site out there that allows you to search by location (zip code, city or state) to find farmers near you.
Local Harvest: www.localharvest.org
For those of you who sell your own agricultural products, this site also has a way for you to list items in a "store". In all disclosure, Frog Pond Gardens has a store on Local Harvest, but I've found it a useful tool to find other farmers and growers near my home here in eastern Massachusetts. It lists Farmers Markets and CSAs as well!
