Here’s a new website/community called Growing Goodness or the Farmers Market Channel. It looks like supporters of Farm Aid are behind it since when you open the site you get a Farm Aid YouTube video clip. If you’re looking for a good example of an online community you might want to check it out. There are a number of links to organic farm websites for example. You can visit their Vlog here.
Growing Goodness™ is a community-based broadband TV network for viewers with extremely passionate interests—beyond what cable television can provide.

in our local farmers markets.

Farmers Market Channel™
Hosted by the community members our Farmers Market Channel™ spotlights farmers, locally grown produce and neighborhood farmers markets.
Post Update: I heard from Keith Gengler who originally brought the site to my attention that my story has one little correction as follows: Thanks for the blog story (http://agwired.com/2007/03/27/growing-goodness-online-community/) every little bit helps. Farm Aid is not behind this project not as of yet anyway… we are simply reporting on their most amazing and generous contributions. Our PRIMETIME content changes frequently. Growing Goodness is a grass-based movement and is powered by the Growing Goodness community as seen listed and linked throughout the site.
