I'm planning to join the Massachusetts chapter of the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) www.nofamass.org. (For my friends and family in New Hampshire, their chapter is at http://www.nofanh.org/.)
I picked up their 2008-2009 Organic Food Guide at Chestnut Farms last week. It has a map that shows different organic farms and where to shop, and includes listings for CSAs, farm stands, and farmer's markets. I had no idea there was so much activity, and I think it's just of farms associated with the magazine. I wasn't able to find The Food Project in there.
The main reason that I am joining is that I wanted to take my brother to Belchertown, my old stomping ground, for a workshop Foraging for Wild Edibles. Now, don't all sign up, because I haven't signed up yet and I want there to be space! Russ Cohen runs this workshop and shows us two dozen of the 150 species of wild edibles in MA. You can read a Boston Globe article about Cohen: For this nature lover, the time is ripe for something wild. I've heard it's a great experience.
