Local Harvest

Looking for organic food sources in your area?
Check out the Local Harvest Web site.
Plug in your zipcode, and a list and a map will pop up, showing you where small farms, restaurants or farmers' markets are located. It will also help you find CSAs, co-ops and on-line stores.
I punched in my zip and got 54 listings. There are reviews of some of the listings as well. It appears to be pretty accurate for my neighborhood.
This is how the Web site describes its origins:
'LocalHarvest was founded in 1998, and is now the number one informational resource for the Buy Local movement and the top place on the Internet where people find information on direct marketing family farms. We now have about 17000 members, and are growing by about 20 new members every day. Through our servers, our website and those of our partners serve about three and a half million page views per month to the public interested in buying food from family farms.
LocalHarvest is located in Santa Cruz, California, and was founded by Guillermo Payet, a software engineer and activist dedicated to generating positive social change through the Internet."
Check it out and let me know what you think.

Oh my goodness! The Local Harvest website is THE ONE I've been looking for since we (recently) moved here. The Baltimore City farmer's market directory has only 10 listings... The Harvest page gave me more than 25 places for my zip code, plus CSA's! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We here at Garden Variety are always glad to help!!!--Susan

What a great bit of information that can help people all around the country. What a great way to get the fresh grown food. It tastes so good.
