Gotta put a plug in for the local food co-op - Purple Porch Co-op. A farmers market, of sorts. Check out http://www.purpleporchcoop.com
ReplyDeleteWe have locally grown fruits and vegetables, meats and flowers. Plus locally produced (with many local ingredients) baked goods. Our producers include the Blueberry Ranch and Roseland Organic Farms - plus several smaller lesser known farmers.
Members place their orders online - depending on what the producers have available that week. Then members pick up their orders on Wednesdays. Check it out - we've grown so much in just two months. http://www.purpleporchcoop.com
