Buying Locally Grown in Georgia
Monday, April 5, 2010 at 04:17PM 
There is a lot of talk these days about the benefits of buying locally grown produce. I personally love buying locally grown to support my community, to live a little greener, for the health benefits and because it really does taste better! This is a link to a website which shares many more reasons to buy local. http://www.localharvest.org/buylocal.jsp This site also helps you locate local farms in your area.
Here are a few places that I know of that you can buy locally grown produce. I live in Meriwether County so most of these places are central to me but please feel free to let me know of others in the area that you enjoy going to.
