And so it begins....

My journey begins here in Maryland. For a dinky little state, we have a whole lotta farmland. My son and I had already been cruising the farmers markets in Baltimore and Columbia to find fresh organic and local produce and I was already familiar with the inhumane and less nutritious effects factory farming had on our food supply - but what can a busy family do to improve our food selection? My answer was to buy a nice energy star rated chest freezer and dive onto a google search and madly find organic farms and local producers of meats, dairy and poultry. Little did I know how much information that there was to wade through! As I began doing so, I learned a lot, and friends, coworkers and neighbors began asking questions, so I decided it would be practical to share what I found here with all the interwebs. It is pretty much going to be centered on Maryland, though it may expand. Please follow along if you have an interest.
