All over America, people are creating systems to help consumers find and purchase locally grown foods. Sometimes the systems are connected to existing farmers markets, and buyers can place advance orders to pick up at markets. In other areas, networks of drop-off points -- at churches, community stores and other locations are being established so that farms can drop off products at their convenience and buyers can pick up at their convenience. We are working to establish a network of drop points, and an online tool that can allow consumers to find the farms they want to purchase from and pick-up locations that are convenient for them.
