One of the greatest blessings of my life has been to milk two goats each day and drink the raw milk. Not only do I feel better, but my bad reactions to many foods have diminished greatly. Also, my back has been getting stronger instead of weaker since starting the raw milk. I think that the zoning laws should be changed to allow for two goats in everyone's yard. If you haven't already done so, I would suggest reading Bernard Jensen's book "Goat Milk Magic." Goat milk really is the near perfect food. The cheeses that can be produced from the milk are nourishing and delicious. The straw, hay, and manure that I clean from the goat pen is spread in my organic garden to produce nourishing and delicious vegetables and fruits. Goats are pets that just keep on giving.

I live in Aurora, CO and I hardly ever go to the grocery store. I get my meat from www.baffalogroves.com, they deliver grass fed Bison to my door. I get organic chicken delivered from a local farm. Raw Milk and dairy products from a farm in Brighton through a cow share program. And organic fruits and veggies delivered to my house in a box from www.doortodoororganics.com. They service Denver and Colorado Springs also.

I live in El Paso County in CO. Am looking for sources of raw milk, organic foods, etc. We have several health food stores, but they are very expensive. Local farmers markets are finished till next May or June.

Anyone out there who can help with resources?

I am in Roanoke VA area and I am looking for a local source for Raw milk, eggs and produce. I shop my local health food store, but they do not have raw milk and eggs and the produce section is not as diverse as my needs. THANKS!

I'm currently reading "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. I HIGHLY recommend it! It follows a year in the life of a family who moves to a farm in rural Virginia and vows to only grow their own food or buy locally for a year. Not only does it talk about their often humorous personal insights, but talks about the history of how our food has become so tainted, how heritage plants and animals are becoming extinct because of the food industry and how to plant your own gardens, etc. It's facinating and I think every person in the USA and the industrialized world should read it and become reacquainted with how farming really works and what eating locally truly means for the future of the world!

The farmer's market is a wonderful place. The produce, and grass fed meat is actually cheaper than the ones in the grocery store, but are leaner, fresher, and tastier... with no worries. It is becoming more and more popular. And the grocery stores also are bringing in more local produce.

Tomorrow morning I am moving to an area of CO that has many organic farms, buffalo & elk ranches, and clean water. Small town with a sustainable attitude... just my style.

I am delighted that in the last two years I found a source of raw milk, and the new "Morning Glory Market" of organic and fresh natural food opened up just two miles from my home (none others nearby).

I live in the Fort Wayne, IN area and am blessed to get my grass-fed beef and chicken from a local farmer who I know raises good meat products. He sells eggs too. I just recently joined with another local farmer who raises fresh organic veggies throughout the winter months in his green house. I joined his program and get a variety of different greens every week until summer. Now, if I could just find some raw organic cow's milk...

I live in Central Illinois. There are many options in the Chicago area for organic and raw food, but I am not sure how to find any good sources close to me in McLean County. Any help would be appreciated!

If you live in the Central San Joaquin Valley in California, here is the local vegetable box we get, I highly recommend. Good website to see how every community should do it right.

I have no personal affiliation, financial influence or otherwise with this family operated farm. I just buy their produce.

It's amazing how little I go to the grocery store now. It's taken me some time to discover the secrets in my local area both by searching the internet and word of mouth. My local health food store (a true store with fresh product and organic deli) has employees that are a wealth of information on farmers, etc. in our area since they frequent the store and hear it from other customers.

In my area we currently use the local farmers market, a CSA program for vegetables, a widowed farmer for raw goats milk and eggs, and we've recently discovered a farm where I can place an order for fruits and vegetables (in season of course), organic beef, chicken, and eggs all grown on that farm and milk shares.

One thing I did discover on a recent visit to Whole Foods in Northern Virginia is that they are marking produce as "local" but it is coming from Maryland and Pennslyvania. Go figure!

Think globally, shop or grow locally.
