Farms Getting Jiggy With It

Farmers aren't the first people I would think of as natural candidates for social media, but they're doing smart things these days.


The Ontario Farm Fresh Marketing Association (OFFMA) has launched a neat little site with a 'Find a Farm Locator.'

You can search by region, produce, pick-your-own opportunities, attractions (e.g. mazes, rides, corporate functions, etc.) or simply browse through all the farms in the database.

The results provide detailed information about each farm, including its location, directions, contact and hours of operation.

Cool, eh?

Visit the site to find information about community supported agriculture (CSAs), what's in season, and other neat stuff.

Here's what's looking good for the next few months:

• April - Greenhouse peppers, tomatoes
• May - Asparagus, radishes, rhubarb
• June - Strawberries, beans, beets, cherries, lettuce, peas
