Great resources for fresh, cheap, local food

Here I am on this rainy Saturday morning, wishing I had the fortitude to walk down to the farmer's market at Grand Army Plaza - the closest farmer's market to me in Brooklyn.
Why would I risk pneumonia on a day like this for some food? Because it's awesome! The local farmers are dedicated (they stand in this deluge all day!), they have gorgeous produce, and the prices are better because it's local. Everyone wins!

Want to find a farmer's market? Or a CSA? Or a health food store that sells bulk in your area?
One of the best resources is:

Just enter your zip code and you're set!
Enjoy, stay warm,
Alex
