Goodness grows on the Internet

This has only been around for a couple of months (but catching on quickly): a website called GrowingGoodness that aggregates videos about farmers markets and sustainable agriculture:

Comes with a regular blog as well as a video blog; contributions encouraged, directly or as Flickr and YouTube links.

The overall mission is to create more public awareness and interest in local farmers markets, always a good idea!

Kinda wish the lead video for Seattle wasn't, once again, the dudes heaving fish at the Pike Place Market. And kinda wish the "secrets of winemaking" video were from Oregon or Washington instead of Colorado (where they have to buy their cab and zin grapes). But then, the whole database is only a few weeks old and it's growing fast.

The breadth of the video profiles is certainly encouraging. And it's wonderful to see links to great websites from places like the Ferry Terminal Farmer's Market in San Francisco and blogs like I Heart Farms. Ties in, too, with Staci and Craig's video project, The People Who Feed Us.
