Each vendor should have its own thread.

Casa Nueva has a list of all of their suppliers here- http://www.casanueva.com/providers

I'm sure there's a lot of questions about these so it might be easier to start a new thread for each farm so this thread doesn't get too cluttered.

Fans are feisty. That's a good sign that they are ready for some football.

That vid never gets old.  That 'ception and LaVon's reception are hallmark moments.

Things changed.  And it is good.

I've always been disappointed by the Westerville farmers market. Feels like they show up to take advantage of baby boomers guilty over the day's fast food lunch.

Its taken some time to attract CSA's (non-profit farms) to Southeast Ohio. Some of the very best in the state are in Northeast Ohio. I wish the university had the wherewithal to establish a sustainable food center out in the plains to set up organic greenhouses. Have it staffed with brainy graduate students that can teach local residents about sustainable gardening and increase the food supply. The university doesn't do enough outreach beyond the Athens City limits for SEO and it would help the reputation of the school if it did. One hurdle is that Ohio State as the AG school a player in community farming through the state extension offices. It just hasn't been part of Ohio's traditional mission to get involved in agricultural development.

Farmers gotta make a buck where they can.
