--- author: Eric Wagoner date: '2003-05-06T09:58:30' draft: false title: Locally Grown Website --- One thing that's kept me occupied this past week was preparing for the start of the Locally Grown Cooperative, a collective effort of several area natural farms. Yesterday, [the website went live](http://locallygrowncoop.com/ "Locally Grown -- An Athens Area Cooperative") and features an on-line ordering system where people in the Athens area can purchase produce from us. It's kind of like a virtual farmers' market. This kicks off the marketing effort, and we'll follow that up with educational opportunities and other community-centered events.
