Find organic flower growers near you
You already know that organic blooms are the way to go. But where do you find them?
Local Harvest's site has taken the guesswork out of the process. Just go to their website and type in your zip code, and you'll find a map of the farms near you that grow and sell organic flowers. There's even a description of each one and contact information, in case you want to call the farm before you go.
And if you want to pick up a fresh, organically-farmed dinner on your way, the site's search engine lets you find spots like community co-ops, Community Supported Agriculture programs, and grocery stores that hawk organic goods in your area.
When I typed in my Philadelphia-based zipcode, I got a whopping eight pages of listings! Warning, though: make sure you limit your search to 5-50 miles within your area if you don't feel like driving three hours to find that perfect bouquet.
