From my dirt to your mouth

Do you want fresh, locally grown, organic food, but don't know where to find it? The LocalHarvest map makes it easy to find family farms, farmers markets and other sources of sustainably grown food in your area.

What a great link. I saw something like this, probably a different link, about two years ago but it had so little information as to be useless. This is a great resource.

This rocks! It doesn't have the big Farmer's market that I know is somewhere in Dallas, but it does have a couple of the smaller ones...so Yay! Thanks bunches for this link.

Any canners in the crowd? I'm looking for a great recommended resource with which I can get started. It just seems silly not give it a try.

Would be nice to get some freaking *context* in that map. Jeez. It's disorienting to find a particular market without any streets, isn't it?

Witty,

You want the National Center for Home Food Preservation, maintained by UGA (right down the street from me). It is *the* resource for canning and food preservation of all kinds.

For those of us in the UK - the recent series of articles on food in the Guardian (where else?) includes a directory of Organic food suppliers.
