Sites that offer personal support
for food, goods, and services
Community Supported Agriculture – CSA – these are local farms that offer to deliver a box of vegetables locally that you pick up weekly. This is a great way to eat locally, usually organically, and support our local farmers cutting down on costs associated with delivery of most vegetables. Here are a few great programs:

Freecycle – is an internet based discussion group where you can post things you want to give away and things you want to get, for FREE. No money is allowed to change hands - get things / give things for free

Along the line of local internet community and commerce is craigslist which is a great way to find things locally and purchase from citizens rather than big chains and in many cases at garage sale prices…
