Questions

Is this every local farm?

No. It holds the farms I could find in public lists and certifier records, so many good farms are missing, and some listings will be out of date. Always check with the farm before you go.

How do you know a farm is organic or grass-fed?

Each practice shows where it came from. "Certified" means I found the farm in a certifier's records, or the practice is required by a certification the farm holds. "Farm says" means it comes from the farm's own website or listing, which I could not check.

Why is raw milk only shown for US farms?

Selling raw milk to drink is not allowed anywhere in Canada (Food and Drug Regulations, section B.08.002.2). In the US the rules differ by state, so the farm details show the rule for that state with a link.

How do I add, fix or remove my farm?

To add your farm, use the "List your farm" form at dadzcooking.com/local-farms/list-your-farm; I check every listing before it goes live. To fix or remove a listing, email [email protected] with the farm's name and what to change.
