Finding good food

This website makes it easier in finding organic and sustainable farms.  However, I would caution you that just because someone claims to be organic doesn’t necessarily mean they have their hearts in it.  I know of at least one farm listed here that they were burning asphalt roof tiles, along with plastics and other stuff that you shouldn’t…a half – block away from the organic fields.  They also sprayed weedkiller on gravel that was next to the growing field.  Yep.  That’s not something someone casually shopping would know….so it helps to know the folks you’re dealing with or someone who works for them, but this website is a good start.

I’ve tried to go online to look for local free range egg farmers, but came up empty.  There was one website that was called “farmer’s friend, but there was nothing even in Allen County (FW), where I knew they had free range eggs….<sigh>…it doesn’t do one a whole lot of good if you’re not going to put information on the website for customers.

Hope this helps anyone looking for locally grown food.
