A great way to help local farms

I heard this on NPR this morning and I thought it was a wonderful idea.  I absolutely love shopping at our Farmers’ Market for fresh local produce and meats, but I found it interesting that this helps give local restaurants that same benefit.  Maybe this would give us an opportunity to give back to our local farms and farmers that have so long been struggling.

With the popularity of locally grown vegetables soaring, a new Web site hopes to make it easier for chefs to find farmers in their area — and have produce delivered to their restaurants. The idea behind FarmsReach.com is to provide one-stop-shopping for fresh produce from many farms at once.

I know it’s not in our area yet, but neither was craigslist!
