USDA’s “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food”

By Luci Beachdell | Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 08:56 AM

The USDA has recently unveiled their new Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food website. The site is full of interesting information, especially grants and resources written in really clear, direct language.

However, be wary using the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Farmers’ Market Search. The AMS Search didn’t find the 2nd Street Market until I punched in 45402 for a zip code - but neither 45406 or 45414 brought up the 2nd Street Market. I’d highly recommend taking a look at Miami Valley Grown’s brochure (attached)

or by going to Local Harvest and plugging in your own zipcode.
