What arrangements you can find would be primarily be through farmers' markets, both weekly parking-lot set-ups (like next to the bank in your town in summer) and co-op markets like the Mill Valley Market near Hampden in Baltimore. Furthermore, these markets are largely supplied by orchards and farms in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I would ask about the farmers markets, or possibly look up "community gardening" for leads along these lines.Alexander D.

It was a fun experience because my personal goal was to try all of the food that we received - and we got some 'weird' stuff! But the overall experience was excellent - I'd love to do it again if we ate such a variety of vegetables. As it stands, we're better off going to farmers markets and getting just what we want from local growers.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry I can't help with finding anything convenient to your area. I've used the following directories in the past - maybe something will turn out to be convenient even though it's not where you live?<BR/><BR/>http://www.csacenter.org/<BR/>http://www.futureharvestcasa.org/TeamDandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595794035050841465noreply@blogger.com
