I saw your comment over at Jen’s site. I’m in Ohio and am going to do the august challenge as well.

This past weekend I scoured the internet for information for information on Ohio foods. I’m still looking for Ohio oatmeal and wheat flour! Any ideas?

I can’t wait to see your updates regarding the challenge!

my local challenge page is at:

Price Foundation’s site (here) WAPF leaders can often put you in touch with farmers.

Nice to meet you. I will check into your page in August–and probably link to you then, too.

I know that wheat is grown in Ohio, but oats I am not so sure of. And not much wheat is grown in Ohio. I am still looking, and will let you know if I find any.

Todd–I have looked into the Weston Price foundation–I don’t care whether the milk is raw or not. Local is what I want. However, I do know that raw milk cannot legally be sold in Ohio for human consumption. End of statement. The laws are quite clear on that issue.

Which is why I have the odd idea in the back of my head of seeing if I can start up a milk co-op with pasteurization facilities shared among a group of farmers who have milk goats and cows. But it is still percolating in the back of my head at the moment, more as an idea than a plan.

But thanks for the head’s up, Todd, and welcome!
