Through years of research, we've gathered the key information about local organics into one handy, well-organized book. First published in 1998, the Guide is the only publication focussed exclusively on this northern California region's organic and less-toxic offerings, including local farms, farmer's markets, restaurants, health food stores, wines, products, and others featuring organics. Readers can use the overview map, category headings, and index to find treasures they'd like to explore. But the Guide offers even more than that. This valuable information supports readers in their further exploration, deeper understanding, and constructive action on these vital issues.
People have enough worries.
They just want to know that their food is healthy and supports healthy agriculture. Throughout this third edition, the Guide offers even more organic places, people, resources, and information for locals and visitors to explore, enjoy, and support. Existing information boxes on topics like buying seeds and organic cotton are now joined by helpful new boxes on organic meat and dairy, organic coffee, and natural home pest control. All these new goodies add 8 more pages to this already-rich and valuable guide book. We're blessed in this area to have small local farms that offer us beautiful open space and a delightful variety of fresh, local, organic food - if people know where to look.
