If you are in the Franklin County, Virginia area, check out Franklin County Fresh Foods. This site lists a load of local farms, orchards, nurserys, greenhouses, farmer’s markets, country stores, vineyards and more! Franklin County even has a cannery. Who knew? I thought all they had down there was red clay, pine trees and overpriced lake real estate. But, alas, I have learned something new.

The web site (and there’s a printed guide) is the work of Franklin County Master Gardeners. They have a ton of corporate sponsors and appear to be well organized.

There is a wide range of produce available, from blueberries to meat, dairy and eggs.
