After reading Barbara Kingsolver's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle," I have become acutely aware of the distances my food travels to get to me. Yesterday I ate matzo that was actually made in Israel! I was assuaged when I learned that the butter I used was only from north Jersey.
In her book she lists groups espousing the worth of buying local food. I'm pumped. So, what I can't grow in my own 150 square foot garden, I hope to get from a farm not much farther away than Lancaster. Does anyone know of co-ops or farm markets nearby?
