Support local growers at Thanksgiving

As I was looking around for free-range organic turkeys for Thanksgiving I came across this quote from Jim Hightower. Food for thought to support your local economy and community:

"This Thanksgiving, connect the feast back to nature ... and back to your own community. Using organic methods is not enough. If General Mills monopolizes organic production and processing, if the crops are produced in China or elsewhere with sweatshop labor, if Wal-Mart squeezes out local sellers and corners the retail market – that's not an organic system. Food should also be about sustaining our local economies and communities. The good news here is that there's a boom all across America in farmer's markets, community supported agriculture, direct sales to restaurants, co-ops, and other enterprises that bring the wholesomeness and neighbor-to-neighbor connectedness that only comes from locally-produced food."

this is true all year round...
