DEL.ICIO.USWhere to find locally grown food
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you want to buy directly from a farmer, in winter you can head to three markets still operating in metro Atlanta: the Morningside Farmers Market, on Saturday mornings; the Decatur Organic Farmers Market, on Wednesday afternoons; and the produce stall just outside of Star Provisions in west Midtown, on Fridays and Saturdays.
Thinking about joining a community-supported agriculture program next spring? Most CSA programs serving Atlanta start in late April or early May. Some programs start taking reservations as early as Feb. 1, and may fill up that day. If you’re interested in joining a program in 2008, you can search for one near you at Local Harvest, or by looking in the local food guide from Georgia Organics.

I am thankful that I am able to grow my own organic food. Even now, I eat at least 2 items a day that I have grown, at least one of them fresh-picked, from my garden here in the mountains. I recommend planting to everyone. In the Atlanta area, a cold-frame next to the house would have you good to go even now. Being in control of your food can make you feel enormously rich. Even an apartment dweller can have a pot of herbs by the window!
I have enjoyed your articles about the CSAs. I grow essentially what they grow; the difference is, I give mine away to the elderly and to the food bank.
Taking responsibility for what you eat can be very, very gratifying in many different ways.
