We live Merced County part of the Central Valley of California "The beard basket of the world" and we still wonder why we have trouble finding local grown food. There are a few groups working on this - but no solid answers yet. My friend Anna and I have started a local organic farmers directory to help, because we could not find local organic food when we were looking. We hope it helps.

Ladakhi locals love it and want to know where I bought it! most strange...wheat and rice (rice imported from Jammu) have become more common than barley here thanks to govt. policies and fashion. I guess it is good news that demand is outstripping supply for the CSAs.
