Local Harvest


Buying local and organic has many perks - you get foods that are fresher, tastier, and free of pesticides. You're also supporting local farmers, which also means less carbon emissions when it comes to getting the food to you. This website is pretty snazzy! Local Harvest helps you locate Farmer's Markets, local farms, grocery/foo co-ops, restaurants, and more - all near you. Just type in your zip code or state, click the places you want to look up, and voila! You get a list of places you should check out. And it isn't limited to fruits and veggies. When I entered my zip code I got info on a local garden where I can purchase fresh, organic flowers.

So check it out. You'll be amazed at what you'll discover in your 'hood!
