Does anybody know of any local farm co-ops where you can purchase locally grown organic produce ?

http://www.louisvillecsa.com/csa/default.aspx has a few organic producers. Most have not bothered to pursue certification because of the expense for smaller producers is considerable from what I have read.

We've just started our second season with the Family Farm Project, http://www.louisvillecsa.com/csa/view.aspx?csaid=8. They are not listed as an organic producer, but we have been very satisfied with their produce. It's a great way to support our farmers, buy fresh and local, and they are good people too.

Melissa,

There have been other threads on the local CSAs. Just do a search on "CSA" at the top of the page and you'll find alot more recommendations.
