I would love to have more options when buying produce! Does anyone have contacts and locations for such markets? I want to be able to eat healthy all year! Organic preferably- REAL organic

At the Minneapolis (MN) Farmers' Market, through the winter, the meat producers show up every other Saturday from 9 AM to noon. OUTSIDE in REAL winter weather, freezing their noses off!

This is certainly good news, and on a side note, once i get my real license i plan to drive to buy free range meats and try to get organic local produce as well. As it is now, i try to make the best of what i can find at the local groucher.

There is a farmer about 30 miles from here who raises range chickens, turkeys, pork and beef along with a few veggies. Although the local farmer's market is closed until April, she sends out "shopping lists" via email and then delivers to our town every Saturday. Not quite the same as what this article is saying but it's still wonderful for me.

Need to retract my previous post, I misunderstood the point before, but I still think they could grow organic locally all year, if they can grow petunias.

This is a Fantastic idea! I see acres of heated greenhouses on my way to work every morning, but they just grow decorative plants in there.
Organic food would probably be even more lucrative, and a better use of space in my opinion!

How do you start an indoor farmer's market. This is very good news and interesting.
