I just came out from under a rock, apparently, in starting this blog. My friend Tina alerted me to a relatively (late 2009) new resource for "locavores," (which I'd also never heard of) localyolkel.com.
What is specifically so great about this site is its CSA guide.
I'd really appreciate any feedback or reviews on any of these producers from those of you that have experience with them.

I really enjoyed Freakonomics when it first came out, but the contributors have really begun to lose my interest, with their proclivity for cleverness and "betcha-didn't-think-of-that,-didja"-ness over actual research and factual data to back up their smarminess. (Okay, more than losing favor.) Actually, I was on their side on the whole global warming solutions flap that blew up during the book's preview, as you'll see here. But, when the book's release revealed they were just cavalierly suggesting global warming would basically fix itself and that everybody was just a bunch of Chicken-littles, well...
Today, at the Freakonomics blog, they dug themselves another ad-homonym hole with a little discussion about grass-fed beef. My own comment is linked here.
