In my community, we have a food cooperative made up of farmers throughout the state. Once a month we place our orders, and then there is a delivery day when we can pick them up at specific locations (usually churches and our farmer's extension). The local farmers sell everything from live plants (flowers too!) to produce (when in season fresh, otherwise canned or frozen) and even prepared entrees like lasagna, enchiladas or pizzas. Our delivery day is next week. I can't wait!! :) If you want to see how Oklahoma is doing it the website is: http://oklahomafood.coop/ Thanks for the post!!

I love it when you point out what most miss! Eating at home starts in the hometown garden, farms and ranches, doesn't it? ;-) Bravo! I love it when you point out what most miss!

I've edited the post to include this resource. Thanks Lisa – excellent point – I love the Local Harvest site – it provides a tremendous amount of helpful information especially about CSA’s.

I joined one last year and loved it. I can't wait for it to start up again. This is an awesome site to check for local farms and also those who participate in a CSA. http://www.localharvest.org/csa/ Don’t forget about CSA. I joined one last year and loved it.
