Locally Grown

With our community focus, we defined an area on our websites called "Locally Grown". It will create a local forum that directly connects the Community to the Grower. There will be daily and weekly content "fresh" from the fields. Coupled with local recipes, videos, and Coupons, this page will be an exciting resource for the community. We will feature various local organizations such as:

  • Local CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture Organizations) While many are unclear on the CSA concept, it has become big business among family-owned farms. The Chronicle found more than 20 CSA's that deliver to the Bay Area alone. FarmFreshToYou , a CSA run by Capay Fruits & Vegetables, which includes some produce from Riverdog, has seen weekly deliveries shoot up by 1,000 in the past eight months, increasing from 500 customers in 2003 to 4,500 in 2008. Those who want to join a CSA can visit individual farm Web sites to find one that delivers to their area; the minimum sign-up is often one month, or four weekly boxes.

  • Local Vineyards

  • Beef (Local Grass Ranchers)

  • Product Manufacturers
    -- Local Coffee Companies
    -- Local Nurseries, Trees, Orchards, etc.
