Farmer Resources

• Sharondale Farm, Cismont, VA
  The best resource for finding information and buying all the supplies you need to grow your own mushrooms. And if you don't want to grow them, you can buy them right off the farm. Don't think mushroom taste any different store bought or not? Try these!
• Forrest Green Farm, Louisa, VA
  The best naturally and ecologically grown medicinal and culinary herb plants, vegetables, grass-fed beef, pastured chicken eggs, and horse hay. This is where we buy our hay each winter, but they have much more and offer classes as well.
• Peacefull Valley, Grass Valley, CA
  A valuable resource for organic growers. And a terrific catalog.
• Drip Works, Willits, CA
  Best place to order drip irrigation equipment West of the Mississippi.
• Berry Hill Irrigation, Clarksville, VA
  Best source of drip irrigation East of the Mississippi.
• Johnny's Selected Seeds, Winslow, ME
  One of the best seed companies in the country. And employee-owned too.
• Planet Earth Diversified, Virginia
  The cleanest and freshest greens and vegetables around. And their pesto is so addicting you'll be back at least once a week. Find them at the Charlottesville City Market and others.
• National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service
  Don't let the clunky name of this oragnization - Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas (ATTRA) turn you off. There's a ton of info here for farmers and gardeners and resources to find internships or find interns.
• Clifton Farm - Beekeeping Supply and Ferrier Service
  For beekeeping supplies and ferrier service (especially for donkeys), contact Harold Plasterer at vashoedude@verizon.net.
