		<content type="html"><![CDATA[Farmers (and our customers)usually freeze, can or somehow preserve what they raised or purchased through the season so it can be consumed in the winter.

The idea of farmers working together to create a an easier and year round local food system is already taking place. It will take some time simply because farmers and consumers have to create the infrustructure to make this happen. The current system is so large and so centralized that it prohibits  small farms from selling in the retail system we have. 

So right now, it requires some effort on my part and yours to find and help one another. There are organizations that are helping us with this effort. PASA (Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture) www.pasafarming.org and closer to Philly we have the Fair Food Project and Farm to City who help in creating farmers markets and other retail outlets to get more locally produced food to the market place.You can also checkout www.buylocalpa.org to find farms and markets in your area.

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[What do farmers eat from Nov.-May?<br />I want to support local farms, but what do I do for those months? I have to shop at Giant or Weis. I try to buy organic there. Can the local farms cooperate and pool together to make a supermarket of just locally produced foods year-round. perhaps starting with that Mennonite staples store in Fleetwood?]]></content>
