Thanks!!
Many of those websites that Anhata mentioned, I'd never heard of, but had a great time looking over. And just a thought to add to those who feel they can't possibly afford to buy local (sometimes it's higher since we have few locals that sell, so they are in high demand), I found that when I cut the junk food and bought more local produce, our lives (and health) improved, and our budget actually was a little better off!! I found that the junk stuff was a real drain on the budget, mainly because it takes so much more to fill us up. (Example; when I buy and grind local wheat to make pancakes, it takes 2 pancakes a person to fill us to popping...it took 6 pancake mix pancakes the other day for the same effect. Jam made with local berries (or home grown) has more nutritional content that the maple syrup we would buy (since we'd buy fake cuz we're cheap), and adds fiber which also fills us. Just a note.
