Buying local...
By: jbr

Is there a web site, or central source of a guide for buying local goods? Like dates, times, location of all the various farmers markets. Restaurants that get most or all produce, etc from local farms. Also any other goods created in the area/region that might be of common demand in daily life?
Where to get them, etc.

this is a guide to locally produced food, but it would be great for someone (maybe Knoxville Voice!) to provide a more comprehensive list.

You can also go "old school"

You can also go "old school" and use the yellow pages for non-food items. I prefer to buy as much as I can from local stores (paint, hardware, auto parts store etc...)
