Local Produce Finder
Use this tool in your hunt for locally grown fruits and vegetables. Enter your info and the product you are looking for.
Before you go save the world, remember that this is not perfect. Consider it a first pass and be aware of a few limits: This tool will miss farms without websites and farms that are more than 20 miles away (Yahoo's limit, not mine). This tool will get some false hits as well (Bananas in Boston? It's because farms put recipes on their sites). As a second pass, Google for something like "site:communityfarms.org kale" to see in what context a specific farm mentioned the vegetable or fruit.
