Shopping organic? If you don't mind not knowing what vegetables you will get every week, a CSA through a local farm might be an option for your family. A CSA is basically a share of a farm's produce. If they have a great season, you get lots. If they get flooded or get bugs or whatever, you don't get as much. Now is the time of year to sign up.
Earth's Harvest Farm offers CSA's and comes highly recommended. They offer vegetables, free-range chickens and a few pigs. You can also get eggs, honey, baked goods and porridge, with multiple pick-up areas.
If you live in Chenango County, you can get goods delivered to your doorstep through a co-op, Chenango Bounty.
You can find more farms at Local Harvest.org.
And let's not forget The Green Earth in Oneonta (also on myspace).
Happy shopping!
