Local Resources
Until GMOs are properly labeled, many basic activities will continue to be a bit challenging, but challenges can be an enticing adventure! And you may find that in the process of finding out exactly where your food comes from, you will be eating fresher foods that were raised locally by a person or people who you actually come to know.
Gathered here are a few resources that are not too far from home. From what we’ve heard, the people who are involved with these organizations are striving towards sustainability.
