aww man.... I forgot to post about OrganicFest and now it's WAY over... http://www.organicfest.ca/

Anyway, Jill Nugent posted on the Meetup message board (which reminded me):
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know I have a couple of contact numbers for CSA's in the Almonte area. 
What exactly is a CSA? Well it involves buying a share form an organic farm and then picking up fresh organic produce or having it delivered during the growing season (approximately 20 weeks). 
Riverside Garden CSA
256-9699
Contact: Inez McCreery
Teamwork CSA
296-0599
Contact: Hilary Chop
I have joined the Riverside Garden CSA and am looking forward to my first organic food box in the next week or two.

Anyway, through the OrganicFest website, I found this list http://www.cog.ca/ottawa/ottlist_2006.htm which is of local organic farms, and they have the following:

Sales Types:
F - sales at farm
FM - sales at farmers' market
HD - home delivery
CSA - Community Supported Agriculture shares available.



.... I think Bryson Farms is a popular one???

You have to wade your way through organic meats, although those may be a great resource to pass on to omni friends....
