Website Review of Localharvest.org — WORTH EVERY PAGE

I love to find cool infor­ma­tive sites on food, bbq, books, wri­ting.… you get the idea.  I espe­cially like the sites that I don’t have to follow every day to stay on top of but are more an infor­ma­tion hub around a par­ti­cu­lar topic.  I have found just such a site.  A site I find myself chec­king second to goo­gle in some cases.
What is this ama­zing site?  Why Local Har­vest of course.  What does this site have that other sites don’t have?  It is a hub of infor­ma­tion on orga­nic local agri­cul­ture and the busi­nes­ses that sup­port them.  From their map it has what appears to be hun­dreds and maybe even thou­sands of these types of enterprises.

Want to find a local resource for yarn pro­duc­tion?  They have it.  What about a res­tau­rant or mar­ket that uses locally grown pro­duce or rai­sed meat?  They have that too.
What if you wan­ted to get invol­ved in a CSA to aug­ment your own gar­den pro­duc­tion or as an oppor­tu­nity to get really fresh vege­ta­bles.  They got that.

Then there’s the forums where peo­ple talk about ques­tions, con­cerns, events, rates, etc.  Next tab over and it will show you events.  For us it hel­ped us find a local farm that we are con­si­de­ring par­ti­ci­pa­ting in a csa with this year.  Now we can do something with them to get to know them.

It’s a veri­ta­ble cor­nu­co­pia of locally grown and sup­por­ted food.  So go to the link, book­mark it, and use it.  Who knows it might just change your life. At the very least the way you eat.
