Reference site for eating locally

While Barack Obama may have his hands full, the rest of us need to be thinking about our plates. Interestingly, one of the ways to start doing this would be to stay right where you are -- in front of your computer, that is. While technology may not always have been the best companion to agriculture (think biotech), the Internet has emerged as an incredible tool for planning the future of food. A Web site called the Eat Well Guide is hoping to help people make good decisions about what they eat and how, with a few clicks of the mouse.

As Bill McKibben points out, "It is undeniably odd, and lovely, that one of the most important parts of our food system -- a little behind rain and sun and seed, but not so much -- are the new digital tools that allow us to bypass the big advertisers, the mega-chains, the junk peddlers and instead find the myriad other people growing, processing, cooking and eating actually delicious food.

1. I forgot to look

but I wonder how new this list is. It seems very incomplete for my state. I'll have to look and see how they gather their info, it might be by submission.

Our coop is listed but there are tons of folks that aren't listed there as farmers who also do their own retail business outside the coop. www.oklahomafood.coop

I also like to refer to this site, as well: www.localharvest.org

We now get all of our meat and a portion of our veggies, along with other sundry food stuffs like honey, pecans, cream, milk, etc., locally through both the coop and other local farmers.

Thanx for a new site on this, eridani. :hi:
